[SWLUG] Notebook recommendations

[P.G. Richardson]

Try novatech.co.uk. Have 2 of their laptops now and really are rather good
for a reasonable price.

Showroom in Bristol if you would like to play with them.

Can be purchased with no O.S. too so no Winbloze tax.

Laws are partly formed for the sake of good men, in order to instruct them
how they may live on friendly terms with one another, and partly for the
sake of those who refuse to be instructed, whose spirit cannot be subdued,
or softened, or hindered from plunging into evil. [The Laws, Plato]
