I don't really want something so small I can't see the screen, though. Thin is nice. Light is nice. 8" screen would be too small.
I have to use this laptop as my only computer so I need to make sure it doesn't make me go blind.

Many of you have responded off list with advice on how to fix my existing machine. While I don't plan on throwing it out or giving up on it, I do really think it is time for a new laptop. I have only 3 requirements - that it run freebsd, its light in weight but durable (I carry it everywhere), and it has incredibly long battery life.
I don't use my laptop for anything that isn't business related. Most of the time I open up a few ssh sessions and a web browser and that's it.... So high power and high video card output, etc isn't so important.
Any suggestions? Is IBM still the way to go?
Thanks!
Thanks all!
