My company uses Compaq Armad m-700's. I like them (mostly). It is hit or miss if you can get Linux to run on them. Also, the batteries have a problem. After a number of cycles of heating and cooling, some of them warp a bit and no longer make contact. No way to easily fix it, other than remove and replace.
Still, Were I to get a laptop, I'd probably go with a Compaq. Not quite as good of hardware as a Dell, but Compaq has FANTASTIC customer service. Dell's sucks. If you have a problem (how many laptops don't?) you can get it taken care of quickly with Compaq. Not so with Dell, or even Sony.
The Toshiba's I have played with did not impress me, and I just plain did not like the Sonys.
The events in the Mummy DO occur far after this movie. Eventually the kingdom falls to an outside, evil force, Matthias ends up almost dying in the desert. Since he already has Scorpian blood in his veins, Annubis makes the deal with him to avenge his lost kingdom. Even the sorceress alludes to it when Matthias asks how long the peace will last. The Mummy just never mentioned the earlier part of his history. This fills it in.
I agree with the idea that this is the first in a series. I enjoyed the movie. It was not a great movie, but it was a fun movie. Heck, my 4 year old loved it.
