Thanks to all who gave me good direction. I'm really amazed at how small the 2400c is. I love my WallStreet, but for certain trips the 2400c might be the ticket. Or, maybe I'll loan it to my coworker, or resell it. We'll see. I went out on a limb and spent a little too much for it, $150 without the power adapter. But it's just pretty cool. As for the surplus auctions, nearly every public university or state government runs one. In NC, all state organizations had to surplus any old goods, and there were weekly closed-bid auctions. Here, UVa has monthly live auctions which are great fun to attend. If the mood had struck, I could have picked up a dozen 7200s for about $70 for all, and monitors to match for $40 total. I also passed on the two SEs with Ethernet cards...and an old Plus. Not to mention all the crazy stuff you've never seen before. I have to admit that I bought the 9500 only because I couldn't stand to see it not sell -- the guy started at $100 and had to drop to $20 to get the bids going. So check your state and public university web sites!. But stay away from Charlottesville. ;-) (Kidding, there was a woman today trying to get a Mac for herself, I'd helped her spot some good ones on the preview day, and I stayed out of the one she was after. It's just all fun for me.) Best to all, Joel
