I bought a T600E in 2003; *total* cost for my 400Mz, 12GB-drive was $366, including maxing out the memory to 288K and adding a 10/100 NIC. And shipping. Runs fine, good remote sever, and I'll buy a 1.0-1.5+ ThinkPad next summer. This is one thing that IBM got right. gary > > Per olof -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org
