I was reading about Mammoth Caves National Park last night. I found their page on the history of slave guides interesting: http://www.nps.gov/maca/historyculture/black-history.htm

The video is brilliant.
I have a buddy who thinks he can hook me up with a 40% discount on Lenovo, which has narrowed my laptop search considerably. With prices before discount, the choices are,
Lenovo ThinkPad x100e ~$500
http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/lenovo-thinkpad-x100e-review/
http://www.laptopmag.com/review/lenovo-thinkpad-x100e.aspx
Basically, a very nice netbook with an 11.6" screen.
Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 14 ~$700
http://www.laptopmag.com/review/laptops/lenovo-thinkpad-edge-14.aspx
Well-reviewed, cheap biz laptop. A bit underpowered.
Lenovo ThinkPad T410i ~$900
http://www.laptopmag.com/review/laptops/lenovo-thinkpad-t410.aspx (Review of similar T410)
A bit more powerful and a bit more robust but not much.
Any thoughts? Does anyone besides Zach still own a PC?
call your mom.
