Dear Thomas,

You are obviously a prudent shopper! In my case, however, the situation 
is that my wife will mostly use the laptop (the one she was using needs 
replacement), and she will be working in Windows XP. The eCS 
compatibility is in case I want to use eCS on the laptop, but I can wait 
for eCS 2 or an even later version, when ACPI and other issues are 
resolved. My wife needs the laptop soon for her work, and so I am forced 
to act quickly. Fortunately I have received good advice especially on 
the eCS-tech list, and feel reasonably confident about making a good choice.

Best wishes,
Arthur
