I am running a Dell as well. I like it okay; I haven't had any real issues with it but it is two years old. Mr brother just got a new HP that is really slick. He has the biggest screen I've seen on a laptop for his CAD work. He seems to like it.

Now that I got my kid the MAC powerbook. Have to sneak on it at night, after he goes to bed. Now, I am a convert. Never going back.

I am interested also what people recommened. I have Dell computers and planned on buying a dell, unless someone says there is a far superior model. Thanks doug

Well I know I don't want an HP or a Compaq. Like I said I have had great luck with Dell's, like you said Doug, if someone can convince me on another brand, I will take a look at it.

Wolf, I have heard a lot of people that switch to Mac and doing the same, they never want to go back.

At work, I have to use a Toshiba, which is pretty standard for everyone here in my office. I haven't had any problems with it.

But at home, I've been a Mac user for years. My PowerBook is four years old, and I want a new one. Can't justify the expense right now. If I had my preferences, I'd use a Mac for everything.

I took at look at a Toshiba a couple of weeks ago, it was pretty nice.

Not quite a laptop but darn close. I just picked up a Blackberry "Curve" and it is pretty handy. It has GPS, camera w/flash , email, texting, internet, phone, music, appointements, push to talk , etc , etc. Unbelievable what these things can do in such a small package.

What carrier are you using? I am with t-mobile and am using the Dash, which is kind of a low rent Blackberry. My wife raved about her Blackberry (she now has the same as me ) and she hates the way the Dash operates. Tmobile has Blackberries but I haven't seen the curve yet.

Hi Demobud. The Blackberry "Curve" (#8300) is at AT&T . I would rather have had service at Verizon , but you have to go to where the phone goes and AT&T got this model. It just came out recently.
Its really a time saver. Yesterday i emailed some job info to it from my office in the morning . Later in the day i opened the email. Highlighted the phone # on the email and called it. The printers said they would be there to give me some plans. Then i used it to look up the website of the company the job was for on the plans , so i could get directions. Then i used the gps to find the location. Then when i got there i took a couple of pics of the job. So I used the phone for about six things in a half hour , really a helpfull tool. doug
