[aklug] Re: Intel ME and AMT Firmware

Very nice, I have an x60 still that will take coreboot (I have not
done that yet). My favourite keyboard ever on a laptop, but I don't
lug it around because the battery life isn't that great and the screen
is way to dim in the sun, so its a "house" machine most of the time.

They are only sometimes for cheap, I got mine for $188, then you
-could- add the coreboot to it yourself.
