Re: Laptop 'short list'?

Mike,

I haven't installed FreeBSD on my current Thinkpad T23 because I am too
busy at work.  But I like it just as I liked my Thinkpad 600.

http://www.streetprices.com/Computers/search.pl?query=2647hnu

is where I check for good prices these days.  Who has the best price
changes by the day.

http://www5.pc.ibm.com/us/products.nsf/$wwwPartNumLookup/_2647HNU

is where I check the configurations of the Thinkpads.  [site is 99%
accurate]

Substitute the model number in the URL's above.  If you want a
1400x1050 T23 you probably want a model starting with 26475, 26479,
2647D, 2647H [latter two are the same as former two with Office
installed; first and 3rd are Win2K, 2nd and 4th are WinXP].  If you
don't know model numbers the first site has items organized by
categories.

HTH.

Greg
