FWIW, the only Sony VAIO I owned had the worst build quality imaginable. Electronically ok (but it ran windoze, so who cares) but mechanically abysmal. Dry joint on the power connector became intermittent within about 6 months, case cracked in three places within 9 months, sound/modem board (internal, not PCMCIA) was intermittent in about 12 months. Other irritating little things, bits of plastic falling off, keytops loose, yuk. They might have had a bad batch, bad design (this was about 3 years ago) or any one of a number of excuses that would make their stuff alright by now, but I shall stick with other brands from here on in. (Oh, I'm currently running SuSE 9.3 on a Toshiba, something like an A85, not a high spec machine, so not helpful, but it's faultless, all the devices just work, and all the plastic is still where it was when it was made :) Cheers, Simon __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
