[plug] Which brand of laptop?

[Richard Meyer]

I like Think-pads as well. I bought one off eBay and the IBM/Lenovo
helpline told me (unprompted) that I still had 8 months left of the 3
year warranty, and sent a courier to fetch it from my home for repair.
That's good service.

Cheers
RM

Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom.
It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.
