Well, here is the summary, for anyone who is interested:

Total responses received: 7

Brands Recommended (totals more than 7 because some people 
recommended more than one brand):

Dell:    3
IBM:     2
Toshiba: 2
HP:      1
Compaq:  1
WinBook: -1 (that is, I received a negative recommendation)



Not a real clear winner, but it looks like if I stick to one of 
the major players, I'll be okay (no real revelation there, eh?). 

Now, If I can just do something about that $2000 limit...
