Subject:Re: What notebook did you buy? From:Bruce Byfield <bbyfield -at- axionet -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Tue, 10 May 2005 11:18:54 -0700
I didn't want to spring for a new notebook, so I bought a portable hard
drive and a new PCMCIA card for wireless. For about $200 Canadian, I've
extended the life of my existing machine by a couple of years. And, when
I do buy a new notebook, the portable hard drive will still be useful
for backup for my desk machine.
I also nuked the Windows partition, and am running only on GNU/Linux,
which has far lower system requirements for the same results.
