I saw an IBM x31 laptop on ebay today for $135. What does this one do over that? Also, WalMart has desktops complete for that kinda money on sale. Further, how will it get power? If it has a wind-up or a treadmill for a rat, it might work. Maybe sun power or a windmill?? This sounds like a scam...

They could have priced it at a small premium and earned lots of money to support poor children. Instead they offer it at a rip off price and will end up with little to show for their efforts. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
