I have three here with cracked screens and burned out mice. Engineer here requested a Toshiba and it suct, we returned it for a ThinkPad. Older Dell's break easily. I have a brand new Latitude that is very nice. Dell support is #1. IBM Thinkpads have been very reliable and the support is incredibly good. My previous job I managed 200 Thinkpads and calling IBM was always a good experience. The recovery disks rock when u need um, and they are easy to ghost. Compaq Laptops and consumer PCs suck. But their servers are the greatest machines on the planet. My 2 cents. -----Original Message----- From: Carter, Elizabeth [mailto:ecarter@xxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, May 14, 2002 7:52 AM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: Suggestions!!! http://www.ISAserver.org re: Toshiba laptops for a sysadmin - agreed. We use Toshiba laptops exclusively. (Also Compaq servers and Dell desktops for what that's worth). ***************************************** Elizabeth C.
