Nice to have elbow room again. Hope it holds up! (Then again, the odds of my still having this laptop in another 3.5 years are extremely long.) The money I didn't spend on a new computer this time around goes into the Leica kitty. In the way back machine, My 1985 $3,500 PC XT came with a 10 Megabyte full height 5.25" HD!
