As was he, I believe. I just subjected myself to Dell's site, looking at the vostro 1500. Once I tweaked it, turning off any crap I could see, and boosting its specs somewhat (! Celeron), price was ca. $1300. I'd rather buy a three year old used box, buy it new batteries, and load it to the gills with RAM. $600, max. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
