Are you blackmailing someone?

SD cards do work fine btw, but beware memory cards protruding form the machine if on your lap.

Why not one of the recently announced Powerbooks? 17'' widescreen, 1.67GHz G4, Radeon 9700, Bluetooth 2.0...I reckon you can play Half-Life2 OK with it and it will definitely fit into a nicely decorated room

There is something eveil about those powerbooks!

The laptop would be ideal (as I can potentially use it for work related purposes) although the Ferrari 3400 doesn't look that portable.

I have managed to get it down to £1100 if I go for the one bundled with XP Home. They come bundled with the HD partitioned into two 45BG chunks, so i'd have to rebuild anyway.

I have managed to convince myself to hold on until the wiring is complete or I wont be able to use the internet!
