Unless being a FreeBSD-core member nowadays really only consists of project-management-tasks and presentations to suit-wearing investors, he will want to have a laptop with more than one mouse-button ;-) Besides, the MacBook Pro is nice - I just don't think it is useful without OS X. For a full-featured laptop with serial, parallel, IE1394, USB2, PCcard+Express-Card, BT2, IR, IEEE802.11x, GB-ethernet take a look at Fujtisu-Siemens' latest lifebook E8120 offerings. They're also very durable (although a bit heavy), I've got a E8010 and it's a nice workstation. cheers, Rainer _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-mobile To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
