[GRLUG] Ron, is that you?

[Bob Kline]

My only real regret with the System76
box is that I didn't spend the extra money
for a 2X larger battery.  That would have
taken it up to 6 to 7 hours.  And in one
year, the new versions have 802.11n, as
well as a standard 250GB hard drive,
rather than 160GB.

But that's the nature of technology.  Buy
today, and it's old tomorrow.....
