Yeah, but it's a cool BLUE toaster. Can't beat that with a stick!

Of course. Though honestly with the little 3d work I DO preform, the
Linux box is prolly my best bet price/performance wise.

Well I regularly refer to mine as "bitch" or "whore", and have been
known to use automatic weapons and even explosives on them. Though
actually that was fun so I guess there are SOME good things about them.

Honestly the only two reasons to own them is cuz theres lots of good
games, and they're cheap, especially if you need a laptop. Jeeez those
tadpoles are expensive. 

On that subject a friend of mine recently acquired an IBM ThinkPad 860
in PERFECT condition. That lucky bastard
