What a cool pile of information -- the whole thread. Honestly I should
have upgraded long ago. Thanks for a ton of useful input.
Here also is an article from August (this year) that seems pretty
useful, too: "Build a High Powered Linux Workstation on the Cheap"
<http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/tutorials/6824/1/>. This is such
a fast-moving target that finding current stuff like this on the web is
a daunting task.

At this point I don't have a lot of places to ask, other than vendors
who'll just sell me as much as they can con me into.
I just got a new MacBook Pro today, and I gave my one year old MacBook
Pro to a co-worker. My new computer has a glossy display, and the
reflection is terrible with a black background in the terminal. I am
okay with a white background, which makes the reflection go away, but
if you code on a black background, make sure you get a computer with a
matte display.
