I'm using a Fujitsu Lifebook C2220.  It's 18 months old or so.  2.4GHz
P4, 512MB RAM, 60GB HD, 1400x1050 display, 10/100Base-T and 802.11b
wireless (Broadcom chipset used under ndiswrapper), DVD/CD-RW, floppy
AND a real, honest-to-gosh serial port (hallelujah!).  It has a farking
winmodem in it that's not supported well.  That's not really a stopper,
as I rarely use modems and have several _real_ modems laying about which
plug into the serial port very nicely when I do need one.

The dual boot has WinXP Pro and FC1 via grub.  I'll be upgrading to FC2
this weekend if I have time after I get the radiator changed out on my
1970 E-Type (grumble, grumble!).
