Listers, I have searched the PAF archives and evidently didn't come up with a search term that worked. Someone wrote within the last couple of months and related that laptops were used in his business and they had to be rugged (probably not the correct word). He mentioned a brand that fit the bill, but the one I remembered doesn't come up in the archives, so I guess I remembered wrong. Can anyone remember this posting and help me find it? Thanks Lila

I've owned a number of notebooks over a number of years. Mostly HP/Compaq or Toshiba. The Toshibas performed better - both in terms of computing power and being 'reasonably' durable.
