Andrew's Vaio and my Latitude? :) Seriously though - one big chunk of the problem is almost certainly that Andrew and I run with .config's and hardware that differ drastically from what the various maintainers test against, and the rest is that Andrew pulls git trees that may or may not be ready for prime time.
