[BC] notebook suggestions

[Larry Bloomfield]

Over the past ten years I have purchase no less than six dell laptops 
and got the on site support/repair. Have had them show up on the Road 
Show when I've had problems. They fixed it and I was on my way. There 
are probably better. I just took delivery on a Dell Latitude 131L for my 
assistant's use. Upon powering it up, got the blue screen of death. 
After running diagnostics as suggested by Dell's India support center, I 
decided to format the hard drive and start all over again. I'm at day 5 
now and no further problems. My personal laptop is a Dell XPS 170. I 
love it. The others were retired to my grandkids and sons. They're all 
still working.
