problem is - if ibm sticks to past practises - they will announce a couple of
new machines at the end of october or early november, and these will offer
a few improvements, but the really appealing versions of these machines will
not be announced until february or march.  or, they will announce up-grades
to be available soon. [are those up-grades to the 750 available yet? : - )]

what happened to the toshiba comparisions discussions?  i found those very 
worthwhile.  i think most (sensible) people these days do not stick with one 
brand as if it was a religion, and are open to considering alternatives.  as 
some subscribers to this list often have a much greater range of experience 
with high performance notebooks, the comparision disucssions were most useful 
to me.

aside from a few comaptability problems with my 755CE it has been a good 
machine, and the few problems i have had with it have left me satisfied with 
ibm service.  i also liked the year's insurance that came with it - the 
first year is the killer on insurance ... after that you can probably chop
the value in half and it will be adequately insured.  i need a new machine, 
but i am not so sure what they announce in oct/nov is going to convince me to 
stick with ibm.  we'll see ....
