So I guess we can totally say goodbye to the 770 series and get ready to
cast off the 600 series? This is our future for IBM selections. I can't
wait to order a A20P and play with it, er, um, set one up for a client. :)

Crap, IBM went with the aging ATI chipset....I would have definitely
prefered S3's new chipset used in the Toshiba 8100 series. :(
