... "This is not a one-week wonder," declared Gary Greenberg, who runs the international investments for Van Eck Global, including Van Eck Asia Dynasty, the top Asia mutual fund with a 20.3% gain this year. "We are at the beginning of a bull market in Asia, and there are plenty of reasonably valued companies." ... Is that you being quoted in Barron's this week, or is that the Bizarro Gary Greenberg? <g> Tom

Gary, DELL makes great products. But you'll need to stick with Toshiba or IBM if you don't want a touchpad. Also, if battery life is important, make sure you stick to Lithium Ion, and stay away from the K6-2. The K6-2 is not a mobile designed processor. Both mobile Celeron and mobile PII run at lower than normal voltage, and hence conserve battery life. Also, mobile PII includes an on-chip 256K L2 cache, if performance is important. Also, no need to overpay for a 14.1" panel. The 13.3" will run XGA (1024x768) and weigh less. I really like those new Toshiba Satellite 40x0 CDT series. Some of those low-end consumer IBM i series notebooks used to use nickel metal batteries. If you can, stick to LiIon. Good luck. Gary
