Any other suggestions? I recently got a new laptop, and a friend's suggestion saved me about $1k. I bought my new Thinkpad T23 directly from IBM with full warrantee and support -- through Ebay. Comparing what I paid through Ebay with IBM's prices on their web site, I saved about $1k. IBM was discontinuing the T23 at the time. I'd bet IBM isn't the only maker of laptops that dumps its discontinued stock through Ebay. It's worth a look. -- M/S 258-5 |1024-bit PGP fingerprint:|tweten@nas.nasa.gov NASA Ames Research Center | 41 B0 89 0A 8F 94 6C 59| (650) 604-4416 Moffett Field, CA 94035-1000| 7C 80 10 20 25 C7 2F E6|FAX: (650) 604-4377 We each earn what freedom of speech we defend for those who most offend us.
