Re: Long-lived "lap"-top?

Tim, this is a great story, deserves to be published in one of
the national geek mags. There are some wonderfully ruggedized
laptops, such as the Panasonic Toughbook series and the Getac
ultra-ruggeds. These are military rugged, and can be quite
expensive, well over $3k. My impression is that you should
treat your laptop needs like those single-use cameras, and go
for a couple of cheapies at a time with a big usb HDD to keep
your data in so you can just transfer files, toss the old PC,
and keep on road-warrioring.
