[TenTec] off topic: you think buying a radio is difficult, try buying a notebook PeeCee

Subject: Environmental operating limits.
Almost impossible to find. Even IBM doesn't put them on their spec sheets.

Most of the worlds population lives in tropical or temperate zones. Most 
of the
worlds population does not have the luxury of climate controlled 
environment.

So, if you want to travel with your notebook, you want something that 
will work
up to 40C and 90%RH. I'm into my second failing Fujitsu and months of 
frustration
when like pulling hens teet, I am finally able to get the design 
specifications. 35C

I've spent the whole day looking and the only thing I can find is 
overkill Panasonic
'toughbooks' that are good to 50C with an overkill price to match. What 
gives?

Does anyone on the list know of something that has the power to play a DVD,
comes with removeable DVD/CDRW, and will work at 40C 90%RH under
full CPU utilization that doesn't cost $3k+++

Thanks,
-Bob
