Handed off the T40 today to replace the Vaio. Signal strength is good in its location - but lets let the user report in if the "upgrade" was a success or now. At 1.5Ghz, lighter weight, more memory, and internal wireless - this should be a clear winner.

Powered off sparc8. Needed to turn off some devices in the room to make room available for the vm380num1, which I want to fire back up again, and get a wiki going. I plan to use the VM Ware Appliances, that have proven so successful for me (vmQmail, Vubuntus, ISPConfig, ...

Lost the Sony Vaio laptop today and the T40 as well. The T40 has some sort of motherboard/video problem, and the Vaio is no longer able to charge - even with a new charger. Something on that one with the port that the adapter plugs into , on the motherboard. ...
