Almost 2 years to the date my current laptop is dying. Being
chea^h^h^h^h frugal, I'm serioulsy looking at an Acer Aspire with
Bluetooth, Wireless, Wired and 1G memory and 120G HD for $600.00.

I've been using IBM Thinkpads for years, and so far they've been the
best I've seen. Not as robust as the panasonics, but enough for most
people. You can usually find refurbs for reasonable prices and memory/
batteries/disk/etc are cheap enough.

It has Vista something equivalent to XP Media Center.

Then add the cost of installing XP back on it, vista is generally not
ready for prime time, and some of your programming apps probably won't
run on vista.
