My new 4780's finally on its way (Tom from PCT, you are my new favorite person in the world. Thanks for the tracking number, and as soon as I figure out how I can have your baby, I'll be in touch).
So now I figure I have a week or so (or however long standard UPS Ground takes to get from Florida to California) to figure out what to do with the 233MHz Thinkpad 600 I'm using now. IBM makes a big deak about how tough this graphite stuff they make laptops out of is (and they're not lying -- this thing still looks new, and I've spent several years beating the living s*** out of it)... but what I want to know is, does it burn? If not, I may need to find me some explosives. Barring that, maybe I'll just tie it to my back bumper and see how well IBM graphite deals with road rash on Highway 4.
Anyway, thank you, PCTorque, for answering my questions, and for sending my new 4780 on its way. I promise to take really good care of it (at least until the day a 3GHz Pentium 4 is as obsolete as a 233MHz Pentium II is now, then all bets are off).
