    Ummm... So what are we talking about here? Are you mad that the M34 is kaput? Do you want help fixing?

    Sorry to say that I am confused a little :p

    Rob,



    by just reading this forum....I've gotten an invaluable education about the toughbook series

    have a new one coming in...and because a few of you guys explained the differences and similarities along makes...I'm gonna be able to remove 512mb ram from the old one and insert it into the new one which only has onboard 256

    essentially I have a set of replacement pieces for the new one...


    thanks to all of you

    ===============================================

    BUT

    the thread was genuinely about comparing laptops to athletes..


    I had a t41 that was nicknamed tim duncan because it was just so dependable..no flash...just steady and ready....


    I nicknamed my first car, Harry Carson... for the same reason
