Hello, This is in response to the first line regarding a " no nonsense " Laptop.... .... LAptops by themselves cannot be a nonsense or nuisense.... ... there are " Operating Systems( one of the main nuisense items that we buy with money) " , improperhandling,et all.... ...and if u are asking for the most established brands then you have IBM & Toshiba at the top end ( but again the service providers in India are also a cause of nuisense or nonsense, you be the judge wrt the HCL support for the Toshiba Systems)... ... followed by Dell, Compaq, Acer and so on so forth ( in that order) Thanks & Regards Jayanta Ph: (022) 820 0463/4/6, 0454/6/7(O), (022) 884 6345 (R) Mobile : 98202 91985 , e-mail : [email protected] "...............................................Love is just GRAND ; divorce is a million GRANDS..................................................."

Dear Jayanta, I see you work at IBM. Are you saying that HCL and the rest provide bad service? Anyway, what I meant was, I need a "no-Frills" machine Be that as it may, I'd written to IBM Direct, Bangalore, saying I need such a machine. While I know IBM doesn't usually sell such configurations, they are also unwilling to tailor one for me. They told me "volumes don't justify making just one for you." My hard luck, I guess.

Honestly speaking , I would be the prudent enough to take a dig at an organization and the support in an industry which has the highest human turnover... ... anyway, I wanted to let u know of the general market standing.. ... if that somehow gave a different impression, I need to spruce up my English, but even then there is no denying that IBM/Toshiba leads the pack... ... which ever way u may interpret it as... ...
