Otherwise, I would wholeheartedly endorse a Powerbook, so I don&#8217;t want any nasty comments from Apple partisans.  I was thinking about the <a href=\"http:\/\/arstechnica.com\/reviews\/hardware\/d600.ars\">Dell D600<\/a> or the <a href=\"http:\/\/reviews.cnet.com\/ThinkPad_R52_1849_Pentium_M_740_1_73_GHz_14_1_TFT\/4505-3121_7-31306220.html?tag=pdtl-list\">IBM Thinkpad<\/a>, but this is only after a cursory glance at some hardware reviews.  If you have a favorite model that you want to pitch, let me know.<br \/>\nI had originally reserved a van and driver for each day I&#8217;m in Paris, mostly because I wasn&#8217;t certain how much I would need it.  But as I look more closely at where I&#8217;ll be staying, I realize I can walk to most of the big attractions.  I&#8217;ll only use a van for a couple days to see Versailles and Sacre Coeur\/Montmartre, thereby saving myself a considerable amount of money.  I&#8217;m not too worried about Berlin.  My brother has told me that most of the S-Bahn and U-Bahn is accessible.  When the Allies were bombing the piss out of the city sixty years ago, they probably didn&#8217;t realize that all of the subsequent rebuilding would create a more accessible city.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My brother wants to buy a new notebook computer and he&#8217;s asking me for advice.
