Drifting pretty far off topic here, but I'm expecting delivery of my 
first System76 laptop today....  Oryx Pro, pretty souped up.  My 
six-year-old (!!!) HP ZBook 17 Mobile Workstation is finally getting 
retired. (LCD has been a bit flakey lately, and I can't tolerate that in 
my business.)

I plan to do a review after I get used to it.
