No problem, thanks for the hint! I was guessing Mac vs. PC.
But work, Windows, everything else aside...when it comes to Macs, I just don't prefer them. They're cool and all, but I'm just a PC. Yes, I've spent plenty of time on Macs too. I'm going to try to check out that Samsung this weekend. That or the Toshiba are my leading contenders now.
Laptop recommendations?

Re: Laptop recommendations?
Part 2 --
I'm pretty set on the Toshiba. Now, what to do with my old EEE.
I'd consider selling it (to get something, old computers don't really have a premium), but I firmly believe in physically destroying the hard drive before unloading a computer. The EEE has a solid-state hard drive that is attached to the motherboard.
Any ideas from the techie TubeNetters out there?

Re: Laptop recommendations?
Hey, I see that you said you are pretty well set, but I have a suggestion.
I just bought this laptop (link below) and got it. It is a great little machine, I currently have a mac (running OS X 10.4.11) and another desktop PC (Windows Vista Basic, got it a couple weeks after the release) and I prefer this one much more. It is running Vista Premium 64-bit, with 3 Gb RAM and a pretty fast processor. I don't have to reiterate to you all of the functions though. It is refurbished, but I wouldn't know if it didn't tell me and have a sticker on the bottom that saws "reconditioned."
Good luck, and it is worth checking out!
