Notes:
    Old laptop has CDRW + DVD ROM, new one can only be configured with DVDRW
    Old laptop has TL-52 processor.  The lowest processor the new one can be configured with is TL-58.  The technology is different, and the TL-58 is slower.  I suggested the TL-64.  TK-xx should not be considered, as it is a very different class of CPU.
    Old laptop is 14.1", new one is 15.4".  I'm fine with that..
    Old laptop has QuickPlay, while the new one does not appear to.  I think the added webcam would be appropriate compensation.
    Old laptop has a 40 GB HD, new one can only be configured with 80GB or higher.  I chose 120GB here since it is listed as a free upgrade to the 80GB on the H&HO Store
    Old laptop was purchased with Windows XP, and then upgraded for free to Vista when it was released.  I was shipped a set of recovery DVDs when that happened.  I would like to get recovery DVDs for the new one as well, if that is possible.
    Old laptop was not purchased with a bluetooth module, however, I did purchase one from HP afterwards, and it is currently in the machine.  That is why I chose wireless+bluetooth, rather than just wireless.
    I kept my old headphones.  No need to include new ones...unless you're feeling generous.
