Well, I'm perhaps not as impressed with that as you intended. After 7 or so
years of reading your posts Robert, one of the (perhaps few) things I've learned
is that you keep your laptop systems pretty close to state of the art. You of
course will dispute that, but compared to the P75 laptop I have here at my desk,
you are practicly in a separate historical age. I'd wadger that your laptop is
probably better than any of the 9 systems I have access to. :-)
