[clue-talk] Need new Laptop, Turnkey OS, or easy OS install

[Dave Price]

Rex,

While not new, I have been very happy with a Dell Lattitude that I picked up
on ebay from "Dell Financial Services"  - like new, with a little warranty.

These are very well-understood boxes, and it was easy to find  things like
X-configuration  files  ready to  run on the  net.

You can also get newer latitudes on Dell's refurb site, and the brand-new
ones are excellent as well.

aloha,
dave
