I've had no problems with my Toshiba Sat. Pro 4600, except for
initial screwing around with the X-support (better now that there's
a driver in X4.2 for the chipset) and the screwing around with the
IrDA port. And the non-working winmodem.

The newer Satellite Pro, the 6100, should be the same except it
has a GeForce4Go video chipset instead so the video should be
much easier to set up (and better performing too).

Of course Pacman didn't influence us as kids. If it did,
we'd be running around in darkened rooms, popping pills and
listening to repetitive music.
