It's all about timing
Today I got my new laptop. It's not exactly new, since it's used.. but it's a nice little laptop and just perfect for my needs. Dell Latitude, 400mhz, 128MB RAM, 6GB hard drive.. what more do I need. Oh yes, 128MB more RAM that is on its way from Dell to me as I type this ($33, not bad at all).
So of course, here I am home.. downloading new RedHat so I can dual boot this little thing (I'll finally be able to upgrade my desktop and put gentoo on it) as right now it's running Windows 2K (yuck, but at least it *has* an operating system.. and sometimes even unix girls use windows) when I hear a *poof* sound... Never a good thing..
My PC's power supply blew.. just like that.. It's all about timing..

Haven't you learned anything? Computers are insanely jealous of each other--often to the point of suicide.
You should never introduce the new computer until it is COMPLETELY ready to take over the duities of the older one.

well, if you absolutely have to go with a PC laptop, then a dell is a good choice. i had good luck with my dell laptop in college, and the one time i did have any trouble with it, dell was damn good about it. the immediately realized that yes, it was actually broken, and sent someone out to replace the motherboard the next day.
on the other hand, an ibook or tibook would still be cooler ;-)

Cooler sure.. but this laptop didn't cost me anything.. a tibook would :)
