Hi David,

I am about to be purchasing a laptop and I was wanting the advice of the
list.



just some issues and experiences:

- most new laptops don't have a serial port these days. You maycircumvent this with usb-to-serial adapters (just in case the missingserial port would you prevent from some machine).

- I have very good experiences with IBM Laptops (X-Series and T-Series).They run very good with FreeBSD and Linux, are mechanically stable, havegood support (if you need it) and the keyboard is what I like.
