Long before we sunk down into Dell Hell, we wrote off Sony Vaio. We have a Vaio laptop here that is in perfect shape, but has a short in the power thingy that connects to the motherboard. We know this can be fixed, but our local shop wants to replace the motherboard entirely. I found a guy online that would fix it, but we just never went through the trouble to get it to him. I really think that all we need is some soldier. But I could be wrong.

Anyway, now that we are back in the market for laptops, or will be once one of our Dell’s die (knockonwood) I see that Sony has blessed their newest series of business laptops with a TX series designation. All they need is a big star on the hood, and every Texan will have one. Is that Texas centric of me to think that? Probably. You did know its all about Texas, didn’t you? They are offering it with Sprint mobile broadband built right in, which we currently have and pay over $60/month for (on top of our home broadband). I can’t see whether or not you have to pay that monthly charge, I am sure you do though. If not, sign me up right now - I’ll take two. It would be nice not to have to carry around that little Sprint box all over creation - and this computer is super lightweight - perfect for Marshall’s constant travel job. Anyway, this is something I want to hang on to for when we need it. Cause I know our Dell’s will start dying again soon.
