One tiny "nit to pick" here: always use a hyphen (" -") in between the "CF" and the Model Number ("29").

The Panasonic numbering system utilizes it, as well as the Panasonic Toughbook Configurator. :tongue:

 

I don't like nits! Maybe that gnats?

 

Nits you pick; gnats you SWAT!

 

What about nitwits? I like to pick on em then swat em.

 

thanks for the listings and links guys, don't claim to know these by heart as do the moderators and the guys with the most reps, but good to have access to this info as we find new model numbers that are special configs. and gives us a heads-up when looking to purchase laptops or parts options and features, so we don't get hoodwinked. I really wasn't going thru withdrawal but took 12 steps before I gathered my senses upon the "change" in the configurator. I'm breathing easier now thanks to my fellow toughbook addicts.........Driller
