anyone with your knowledge and caliber of experience should know that your personal opinion has nothing to do with realistic functionality and product longevity… naturally you deal with windows issues all day, that’s 99.9% of corporate infrastructures. go back and answer my question that was posed to yours. to add to it, fire up your mac and hit a site and watch a .wmv, you know the video format of over half the internet.

mike… if you like toshiba go with it… get extended support if you buy direct. I have a toshiba tv, at least you’ll know the laptops screen will be nice! i’m not against toshiba used to have satellites and latitudes… nice machines for sure… if i remember they don’t have the snazzy cases and bells whistles.
