SONY offers one in the VIAO line.
I think Huwlett-Puke-rd does too.

Don't let my husband see that! We have remotes for the TV, VCR, stereo, PSII, air conditioner, and the Sony Walkman CD player (how lazy is that?!!). No more please.
One reason we have the same username is that we both jump on and off the computer for a few minutes while the other one is doing something else. I have no problem with him being on here and vice versa, no worries about what the other half is doing. As long as you aren't downloading **** at X$ on the card, why would your wife be upset? Unless you are neglecting your "marital duties" as well....now that could be a sign of a problem...
Fuzzy, what's wrong with Hurlitt-Pukards? I have one...

Now that thread is hopelessly hijacked...isn't channel surfing a symptom of ADD?
As far a 'M" goes I figured it was designed on a Friday and they forget to actually define it on Monday due to problems with a hangover.

#1a - In many cases this mandates the use of proprietary and decidedly more expensive HP hardware and drivers.
#2 - I guess I just hit on it - virtually everything inside is special and costs more.
#3 - Their audacity. I do not know whether you have discovered this yet or not, but do you know those system restore discs that came with it? They do not have all the files and drivers necessary to restore your computer to it's out of the box FUNCTIONALITY after formatting the hard drive(s). That really burns me up
I'll stop now.
* = Think of the original Windows as a shell on top of DOS. DOS was still there, windows just acted like a "translator" that translated graphical button clicks into command line sequences (ie: "c:\xcopy32 h/n/k/y/i e:\"). HP is still intercepting your clicks before passing them along to Windows because they believe they can actually run Windows, better than Windows.
I should point out that technical opinions counter to mine are not hard to find. They are mostly die hard H-P fans too.

Try wearing your hat pulled down over your eye brow(s) for a while!!
P.S. I'm not so sure who I am either, so don't feel "new".

Funny you should mention typing, Tim.
. . and I realize I am pouring gasoline on my own roasting . .
but as strange as it may sound, it is true none the less:
I have been a computer Geek in some form or another for a pretty darned long time now. I really am not exaggerating when I say I have never met a keyboard I could not wear the letters off of at least once a year.
here's the point . .
I have one hand that can type a blue streak and never miss a key. My other can not type a coherent sentence to save it's finger nails.
Thus, I, by necessity, type with two (or three) fingers so that one hand can keep up with the other. Boy those little piggies can fly though! (I call this: "bluffing")

You guys still use the typing? Geez!! I use the speech system with the auto edit...it will automatically edit all the cuss words out which causes it to take quite a bit of time. Since I've been in the military for over 19 years every other word is a cuss word! It's not too bad except when it breaks down and I do have to type...I don't have auto edit and well I don't use the nice symbols and such and then my finger starts to hurt and then all heck breaks loose not to mention the spelling thing. We won't go there! Oh if you believe the thing about the speech system I have some land...beach front....pacific ocean....in Arizona...cheap to you guys....just because I like ya. ;-)

What a coincidence, there is a guy that wants to sell some land (to someone real special)
up in Yellowknife. It is beachfront also; who would have ever thought the chances of that.
Don't think it is the Pacific though!
Waxy yours as good as his
