Livre d'Or

I still really like Thinkpads as laptops, though they're not going to come as cheap as you'd like. Windows Vista seems useable, I've got it at home and we now have it at work on some of the machines there. It may be problematic if you need to install software on it that's a bit odd (for me, Sage comes into this category).

Broadband: Zen (my ISP) + A&A (very geeky ISP, used by some friends, with IRC support).
