[olug] Laptop Recommendations

[Jeff Hinrichs - DM&T]

Thanks for the feedback, everyone.   I went with a Thinkpad T530.  I'll
email my results when it arrives and I get it set up.

I am still researching routers, I value Matthew's recommendation on the
e4200.  I went with a 3 antenna centrino ultimate on the laptop.
