This has been an interesting discussion... I have posted in the past about the network-centric strategy in use at Keystone College (provide desktop computers in all offices and classrooms, and only terminal services connections for remote users), but neglected to mention a product we have used with some success to completely bypass problems with laptop hard disks - laptops WITHOUT hard disks. ATLabs makes a thin client notebook, available with Linux or XPe OS, with more info at http://www.atlabs.com/netbook6500.htm. We purchased 12 of them to use at registration events, where we need to set up a temporary "one-stop-shop" for students to come in and get paperwork processed. They're also good for training events or any application where traditional laptops might be stored for some time between uses and thus fall behind in critical updates, etc; costing you time when you pull them out for use. If you looked at this product more than a year ago, look again. Early models were inelegant, to be polite. The current product offering is much nicer. The company does not sell direct, as far as I know. We got ours through their distributor, JetStar, and worked with Laurie Weinsier (lweinsier () jet-starinc com) there. - Charlie
