[14:04] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[15:45] <epod> Okay ubuntuites, in my continuing quest to find the most portable ubuntu laptop for the best price, I've located http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX35816 - thoughts?
[16:03] <BluesKaj> epod,  are there any real ubuntu laptops offered or do they all come with windows ?
[16:06] <epod> you cant get 'real ubuntu' laptops except in the US
[16:07] <epod> and shipping + customs brokerage fees add on at least $200 to the pice
[16:07] <epod> *price
[16:09] <BluesKaj> bummer , typical , Canadians get ripped off again , having to pay for an OS , basically a royalty to MS , that we don't need or will never use :(
[16:10] <epod> yep exactly :(
[16:11] <epod> dell.ca at one point once sold ubuntu laptops, but no longer.  If you search their site, one model comes up, but you can't actually buy it with anything but win7
[16:13] <BluesKaj> W7 media players suck , that's one of the main reasons i won't use W7, altho it's not a bad OS compared to the previos MS OSs
[16:33] <BluesKaj> Windows indexes the media files , but can't resolve between titles , so it ends up doubling and triple listing media files in any players installed including open source ones
[16:40] <BluesKaj> It's especially bad with files transferred between pcs on a network , it then lista everyfile file available on the network in playlists in duplicate and triplicate , unable to differentiate between exact copies of the same title
