Because I have to use a VPN client that is Windows-only. The
rest of the time the laptop just has telnet windows, a browser,
and an X server running. Sometimes a VAX emulator, too. The
screen is UXGA, so I have plenty of room on the screen.
Actually, there is a version of the VPN client (Cisco, BTW)
that is supposed to work under Linux, but I find it tends
to hang the system hard. The network guys won't bother
opening a support request with Cisco on the problem as "we
only support Windows".
Bleah.
