@AlphaCentauri Bleah. I've actually got a pretty functional setup--laptop that's *always* plugged in to power + docking station. But it's like 5 years old & just running super slowly. I'm going to replace it w/a desktop this time I think, which I don't mind shopping for on-line.

I kind of need the laptop -- bring it downstairs to be sociable when doing quiet work, take it to a separate room for on line meetings.
