My current laptop is a Toshiba M70. Nothing special, but does the job for what I use it for.

As for my desk top, well its a bit of a hotch potch.
AMD 64 3500+ and 2g ram
radeon 1600 128m grafix card (that needs updating)
winfast NF4 series Mboard
(currently over clocked by 1% till I improve the cooling again)
plus other stuff
Not really interested in playing with the desktop as it works good and I don't want to play with it till I know what I'm doing so the lappy is the fist choice.

Both are using XP home ATM with MS everything and a few others slapped in there for good measure.

I don't know that much about Unix and the derivatives, hence me being here.

Any info appreciated

cheers
