Re: Semi-OT: Notebook PC for Photo Editing

Thanks to those of you who recommended the Fujitsu notebooks. 
After some hours on their web site I am sold. But, wow, they are 
expensive. Comparable Sony models like like a bargain in 
contrast. Well, as I have argued in regard to lenses, one never 
regrets buying quality.

At least the Fujitsus are expensive to get the things I want. I 
would like their extra-bright display and a 5400 rpm drive. In 
budget models one can get one of those or the other, but not 
both. To get both takes $$. And I need to hang onto some $$ for 
the DA 21, the DA 70, the D+, the new flash, the DA 50-135 and 
the DA 16-50. Not to mention dentistry for the whole family.

Maybe prices will drop a bit next month. Merchants in the U.S. 
abhor April (tax time).

I'm already working two jobs, and collecting a retirement check 
from a third. It's still not enough. Sigh!

Incidentally, I have seen the complaints about older Toshibas 
overheating. I believe newer models have a vent on the side.
