The following computers illustrated above are not profiled below: an hp Compaq d220 MT server, an Acer Aspire 1720 notebook, an IBM Thinpad T40 and an IBM Thinkpad A20m are not profiled below as I either never use them or they are for work. The A20m flipflops between a wireless and wired connection, hence the two connection above.
