Tom and others:

 Can you recommend a good place to get a used/inexpensive OpenBSD
compatible laptop? I have ordered OpenBSD 4.9 and will be upgrading my
old laptop but it has cracks in the plastic case.

 Bob Johnson Computers no longer carries IBM Thinkpads as the Lenovo
laptops are poorly made. At least that is what they told me when I
called them.

Kind regards,
Jonathan

Thanks Tom:

 Do you know if OpenBSD will work on a Panasonic toughbook?

 OpenBSD, as a desktop system, has worked so well for me over the years. Optical character recognition works, photo editing works and I really like my Softmaker office suite, which is way better than Microsoft's bloated and clumsy Office. 

 Basically, Microsoft is for women and lazy office workers who need some time wasting gadget to fill up their work hours.

No experience with Toughbooks. Btw, I just had a second phone interview with Amazon for a software engineer job. Don't know if I will make it, but I thought I'd give it a shot.
