Again, thank you, pig. What kind of laptop did you decide on? I did a lot of looking in the first part of 2007, and by summer, after much concern that the 17" screen model I was leaning toward would be too bulky and heavy, I ordered a new one, a Dell Inspiron 1720. I love it! Took it on a two week, road trip vacation, pulled it from the backseat to the dash and searched out wireless signals from unsecure routers in residential neighborhoods...got direction,s made hotel reservations, looked for restaurants and caught up on email and the financial markets. I wanted big screen and extra capacity battery, or feather light and the small screen that makes it super portable. Now, back to the regularly scheduled....
The last article that I posted has what I've observed as a broader and more disturbing and counterproductive hint of the tension that some describe as an rising anti Jewish attitude, rippling through some segments of the US population today. Although I believe strongly that one can be opposed to the influence of AIPAC in US politics, and anti semetic without being anti Israel or anti Israeli, I object to the idea that there is some Jewish or Israeli driven agenda against any group in the US. This does not mean that I rule out AIPAC's own efforts to work politically against members of congress who do not support it's agenda in the US legislative process.
