Both are great, but as a current e5 owner, I can tell you that you can forget about the "sensation" of bass. Oh, it's there all right. It just doesn't sound like it does coming out of a good set of cans/speakers.
You need to get out more. The current Thinkpad lines are rock-solid, and competetive in size and performance with the other boys in the top tier / enterprise tier / insert-your-analysts-adjective-here tier.
Neither wil stay there long and once cell phones (and mp3 players if this convergence takes off) hit the 3-5 Mp range (~2 years), the need for a dedicated digital camera is eliminated for all the point-n-shooters out there.
It will be interesting to see how they will be marketed once this happens. Is it a camera with an mp3 player or vice versa?
Except of course, the iPod didn't meet his needs. It's right there in the first paragraph. Or did I miss something an Apple now has Linux support and support Ogg Vorbis?

Their Dir of Ops gave the keynote at the USENIX Large Installation Systems Administration Conference last year. During the talk, he described how eBAy wants so much to use industry best practices, but given their enormous size and transaction volume, they end up being the ones who constantly push the envelope.
After listening to the talk, one came away wondering how the site even worked at all. Every day, you are on the bleeding edge and every day if you have the slightest of hiccups, expect to have it covered in the Wall Street Journal the next day.
I don't know what they paid that poor guy, but it isn't enough. I'm surprised he still has all his hair and it wasn't grey.
If the university owns the rights to the images of the library and the name UCSD, then they can choose to arbitrarily enforce said rights (note: I am specifically avoiding the terms copyright and trademark).
Many people, including writers at Car and Driver magazine, disagree with you. Google around for the Audi 5000 debacle; you'll soon find yourself in the minority, opinion-wise.
The car in question is a Renault of recent vintage. 4-wheel disc brakes. However, I can stop a 1973 BMW 2002 from 60mph, while maintaining WOT. It has stock front discs and stock rear drums.
Brakes of a car can always overpower an engine, even at full throttle.
This is just a rehash of the Audi 5000 myth that gripped the media's attention some years ago. There was even a 60 Minutes segment on it.
Audi, nor independent researchers ever found anything wrong with the cars.

Hear, hear! I just replaced my wife's P2/233 box. It was coming up on it's 7th birthday, I believe. All she uses it for is browsing and email and the very occasional Word doc. Iicked up an Optiplex off eBay for a couple hundred that's got a lower end P4, with 256Mb RAM & a 5400 rpm disk. I'll bet this one lasts her almost as long.
Me? The Linux box is 2xP3/600 with 1Gb of RAM and 7200 rpm scsi disks. The Windows box is a P3/1500. Neither are going anywhere any time soon.

Unlike a hobbyist, Joe isn't going to run out and change his PC every 6 months. Joe's going to use that sucker until it dies. So, what's horribly overpowered these days will be ho-hum, run-of-the-mill in 2-3 years. That's why Joe buys a machine that overpowered for what he's doing today.
They have these pesky things called shareholders. They get mighty pissedwhen you do things with their money that they feel doesn't result in deriving good value.

Not.

They're not my requirements, they are the OP's. He says he needs Ogg. iPods don't do Ogg.
If Ogg is one of his requirements, the iPod is not a solution.
Except of course, the iPod didn't meet his needs. It's right there in the first paragraph. Or did I miss something an Apple now has Linux support and support Ogg Vorbis?

So if I use Firefox, I don't need anti-spyware or anti-virus sw?????
Yeah, just look at Netscape. MS chased their taillights too.
Just watch Safari & Firefox development and imitate the functionality. Joe User then has no compelling reason to switch.
No, I am not making this up

I think it's more, "we don't mind you getting rich as long as we get even richer freom the fruits of your labor."
After a few big companies get burned by having their IP stolen by the Chinese, I suspect that the lure of cheap, highly educated labor will wane.
