 They are certainly as nice as I think, I've already got one :). Ok, it's a 
Thinkpad N40 with a 50MHz processor (601?) and 64Mb memory, but still a very 
nice machine. The great thing about it is that it runs AIX, which an Apple 
laptop won't do. Of course my perception may be a little biased by the fact 
that I bought this laptop for very little money, probably less than I would 
have paid for a similar spec Apple laptop. Last week I went to the Klokhuisdag 
(Apple convention) and the prices there were scary (and the discussions too).
