Laptop recommendations

   From: Brian Lockwood <lockwood at mac.com>

   Good luck in finding one.  I don't think there is a 14" LCD screen
   that has a resolution of 1280x1024.  The fix to this is to connect
   a CRT to a laptop's external VGA port.

That would surprise me; there are laptops out there that do 1600x1200
on a 15" LCD (and yes, I would actually use a small font on one of
those to maximize what I can get on the screen).  The EmperorLinux
Rhino/Dell Inspiron 8100 does this
(http://www.emperorlinux.com/rhino.html).  The only problem with that
one is the price.
