@Nonya_Bidniss It was like the bestest travel machine ever. Under RAMed at 4GB and had a Celeron Proc but worked GREAT as far as SSH/MOSH and that's all I really need in a hurry.
I upgraded the RAM in a bar with a nail file (screwdriver) having an IPA as I recall.
I had a 15" Sony VAIO (punk fuckers running Linux, VAIO bastards) as my primary carry and my mother bought me the Aspire because she thought it was "cute". That boxen became my primary walking around Los Angeles. It was perfect.
@Nonya_Bidniss Fucking VAIOs (ThinkPad guy, for, reasons) I had to recompile my effing audio drivers ever kernel update.
SONY is Specifically antagonistic to xnix. Sexy little beasts, but more trouble than worth. [Looked great in meetings, but I can beat a marketing guy with a ThinkPad and still use it later that day, VAIO not so much).
