RE: [microsound] pc laptops and digital audio

[b phenix <nobody@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

the LT?  i have that laptop and it is a dandy little machine.  a bit
slow compared to my ibm T21 but i have never had any of the
aforementioned fan problems with this machine.  the small screen and low
resolution do make interfacing with some audio apps a bit cumbersome.

i like dells cause they seem to be the easiest to get non-windoze OSes
up and running.  on my dell, i run BeOS and QNX besides win98.  my ibm
has some fucked up little bios problem which makes getting dual boots
running a bitch.  also with it savage IX video card and funky network
card, BeOS and QNX don't agree with it.
