RE: [PCTECH] Laptops with true docking stations or port replicators?

["Bob Crothers" <bob2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Do NOT get a Toshiba.  Costco has them for a very nice price...but they wont
run anything besides XP Home.  And you don't even get an install CD for
that...just a ghost image.

And if you want to put other OS on, you are on your own.
