#1 belonged to SYbase where I worked at the time, and I moved on #2 belonged to LSD where I worked at the time, and I moved on #3 was mine, an M1540. Lovely machine but had one of those faulty nVidia cards from 7 years ago where the chip separates from it's substrate. I still have it, breaks my heart to throw it away :-) #4 was an M4600, developed a weird fault that Dell had never heard of, so they replaced it under warranty with #5 is the current M4800, still going strong The wife got an M4600 same time I did (we worked at the same place) and she's since upgraded to a ThinkPad courtesy of the company scheme. I have plans for that machine but she made me promise to tidy up my study and do something with the hundreds of books lying around before I can get my mitts on it :-((( -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
