    People should learn endurance; they should learn to endure the discomforts of heat and cold, hunger and thirst; they should learn to be patient when receiving abuse and scorn; for it is the practice of endurance that quenches the fire of worldly passions which is burning up their bodies.

    notebook, huh? i dont know what youre using that computer for but if i bought a notebook i'd buy one which i actually could carry instead of dragging around (17" widescreen, it must be quite hmm heavy..). nice specs though.

    I don't get it...you got a job with the town (local???) govt and they front you the money to buy a notebook? And then they take it out of your check for the next year???

    Don't quit, get resigned or fired...

    Nice specs though...I'm hot in he market for a powerhouse notebook, and I'd chiise a 17" in a minute. I like the idea of running to apps side by side.

    The above post mentions lugging the thing around- true true- you'll probably have to carry it in a back pack!

    of course it depends.. if its your primary work machine and you'll be using it a lot, but not moving that much, then you probably appreciate the 17" screen

    I plan on ordering a thinkpad t60p in a few weeks. Gonna go with the 14inch screen and buy a monitor later for home use. When the Turion X2's get released (~May 9th IIRC) its gonna drop duo prices.
