[ILUG] Laptop Recommendation?

[John Moylan]

Don't buy a powerbook unless you like having to map your F10 and F11
keys to left and right click.

Whoever said MAC's were user friendly was nuts.

Oh and have you tried to get an up-to-date Java SDK for Linux on PPC, or
Flash, or Real Player, or setup Eclipse ------ don't go there. I know, I
have a TI-Book - and it sucks.
