   Thanks, Galen. She likes the 15.6" widescreens. Most of the
refurbished/scratch-and-dent ThinkPads have 14" screens.

   Newegg has a Dell Vostro 1540 at a good price. Dell supports linux, and I
found a vendor in South Africa that sells them with linux installed. So
there should not be an issue of putting xubuntu on it here.

   I wonder how much money manufacturers pay to have someone think up names
for their products. They could probably use a password generator to get the
same results at a lower price. :-)

Regards,

Rich
