I found the receipt (I bought this on March 9th) for CAD$1100 but now they are selling for CAD$860. The two wireless NICs are worth about CAD$120 each I think. The wired NIC is $69. The computer bag, maybe, $115. That's about $1300. I'm doing the above math for the insurance claim. I do appreciate the gesture, but I don't think people will get better value for money out of PHK's work. :) > (And my condolances for the inherent loss of the intellectual goods > which are always more difficult to replace.) Not much was lost. Perhaps a few small notes. It's more the set up of a new laptop which takes time. I need to replace it very soon as I have a wireless article to complete...! cheers -- Dan Langille : http://www.langille.org/ BSDCan - http://www.bsdcan.org/
