[DM-MUG] very cheap laptop options

[Jon Engelhardt]

IF I had the money  --   it would be the BMW 1200LT or a Goldwing or  
the VTX 1800 tricked out.  My VTX 1300r is good for me, at least at  
this point.  Looking hard at the Zumo550 as last add on.  The  
devaluation of the $$$ takes me further away from BMW daily, dang it.
