Hey Stan... here's my two cents:
Get something with an Intel Mobile processor, a big screen, a big hard disk
and as much RAM as you care to buy (can never have too much). A new laptop
should have a couple of USB 2.0 ports and XP. I use a 70 Ah gel cell
battery and a 350-watt inverter and can power the laptop and my scope for a
looooonnng weekend.

Jon,
Thanks for the information. The reason I said Windows 2000 as a OS is
because sometimes I get a little dense. A year ago I had a desk top made up
at Mother Boards and Upgrades. Since they made it, it did not come with an
operating system and I used Windows 2000 I already have. Also, one desktop
I have has removable drives that have an operating system on each drive
(they are not slaves to a master drive). As a result of all this I think in
terms of having to install an operating system. If the laptop comes with an
OS, which most do (I know some desktops don't, or at least that was the way
some were sold a number of years ago), I would probably use it, but it
would depend on whether it came with a cd of the OS if I ever had to
re-install again.
