Comment Re:Lenovo (Score 1) 898

I have mod points, yet I wanted to second the Lenovo.

At work, we support over 200 laptops... all of them Lenovo ThinkPads.
(( ok, there are some still going around that are IBM ThinkPads ))

From my hands-on experience, they are very well engineered and constructed.
They're "solid".
The service is excellent (although we're a big customer... so obviously we get "quick help").
We rarely see problems with them... other than the sales guys (and girls) dropping them and spilling the occasional coffee over the keyboard.

You can't beat the LED light on top to illuminate the keyboard during the night! (awesome)
The other good thing we find with them, is their "restoration" software.
If the machine is full of crap installed by the user, we just boot it up, take out the important data to an external HDD (Desktop, My Documents and two company software folders), and boot it.
During boot-up, press F8 key, go into the Lenovo restoration software (or some name of the sort), and it installs Windows from scratch.
CD key and everything already registered.
Then it's just a matter of patching it up with Windows Update... re-install our software, dump their data back... and wish the little lady luck on the road.

Great, great machines.
Hope this helps!

Comment From Chupacabras land (Score 5, Informative) 94

I live in Puerto Rico, were a big part of the "Chupacabras" myth started.

1st, there are no coyotes in Puerto Rico.. so WTF.

2nd, this is just urban legend... crap you tell at 2 in the morning. Then the news pics up on it.

Years ago (1970s?) there was a local surgeon that "manufactured" these odd "Cara de Diablo" (Face of the Devil??) things. Nobody had ever seen such a thing.

He left them around for everybody's amusement (especially the media).
Big uproar about the Cara de Diablos and what they were.

When the guy came out of the woods, he explained: They were stingrays, he would cut-off the "wings" in a diamond pattern... then stitch them up with his superb abilities.

Chupacabras doesn't exist people.
