Gotta buy my only PC, being I already have a stable of Macs.

Went down to "comp.os.ms-windows.advocacy" for help, no one there.

Of course it's empty. Who would advocate Windows..? ;)

Downright spooky.

Seems all the PC guys are up here.

Need a PC laptop, any size, with these min' features:
(built in, not added via a plug-in card)

1) 512MB ram (would like more, say 2GB, hopefully ECC ram)
2) USB 1.1 and USB 2.0
3) Ethernet 10/100/1000 autosense, full duplex
4) Firewire 400 and 800
5) High speed DVD read _and_ write, plus ordinary CDs
6) At least 120GB fast quiet internal drive
7) A seperate DVD with Windows XP Pro plus SP1 and SP2,
but this DVD _minus_ all the nagware 3rd-party junk
that normally comes with Windows, so I can load up the PC
minus all the 3rd party junk that normally comes with it.

The Intel Mac laptops don't come with these features? (I wouldn't
know, since I've never been interested in laptops)

Now watch, fellers. I will be mobbed with advice on exactly what
machine to buy to get all these features that we have come to expect on
our Macs, proving beyond a shadow of doubt that there is little or no
difference between Macs and PCs.
