Well I am typing this from a gorgeous sony vaio s1xp. Its a suoerb bit of kit, but getting it working with my new wireless router was a total drag. At first i didnt even realise it had a conventional LAN socket, it was so well hidden. After a huge amount of mucking about i finally got it all working by removing the network bridge gubins under network setting, fiddling with the encryption type of the routers wireless setup, and lots of mucking about releasing and renewing static IPs. I have to say that sony could have done a better job in setting it up with a usuable network setup.
The screen is fautless though, especially for watching a dvd in widescreen. absolutely top class.
Sadly its punishingly hot right now so i cant go in the garden for the true "wireless" experience, although ive tested it from upstairs and it was a perfect connection.

The laptop is set up with the editor for Democracy, so hopefuly i can look forward to a major boost in productiivity now ;)
Any day now the gold master for the US Starship Tycoon will be announced. AFAIK its already gold in Russia.
