Mine is Compaq -- I basically only buy on price.
Boo! I decided I could justify spending the money on an NYC haircut, and my stylist is all booked! I wonder if she would squeeze me in anyway.
I like money better than people. People can so rarely be exchanged for goods and/or services!

Any thoughts on Toshiba laptops?
I've only had Toshiba latops, using each for 5+ years.
The only reason I bought new ones was that I broke the screen on the first one and had to upgrade the second to be able to use iTunes.
This one has been fine except it has a tendency to overheat and eventually shut down when overworked (playing CDs/DVDs, downloading into iTunes, etc.) Which usually means I've been on the computer too long anyway, so I live with it.

We have a Toshiba laptop and it's been trouble-free for the last 2 1/2 years.

Thanks! A guy who works tech squad at Best Buy was selling me on an Asus, but I can't find any reviews online. And I found a Toshiba with the exact specs, so.
My poor, overworked, reconditioned Thinkpad is about to get handed down to the kids, I think.

And crew. Don't forget crew. Why no, I didn't break my ankle falling off a stage. Nope. We won't mention the hairline fractured skull from a falling barndoor. Don't think glow tape would have prevented that one.

I love my Asus, though it's a netbook, not a full-fledged laptop.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Ditto this. Also, I have an old Toshiba laptop that, AFAIK, cannot be killed. It's been upgraded with lots of memory and new gizmos, and it's still going. If it weren't so heavy, I'd carry it everywhere.

The guy at Best Buy said he had two -- one for gaming, one for school -- and he definitely seemed to know what he was talking about.
