So you're saying that the Thinkpad is a refurb?? If so, then the pricing is even more of a rip-off. BTW, on most semi-modern laptops you can easily upgrade the HD and memory yourself. I know that HPs & IBM laptops are very easy, as they have a 'door' that opens up for easy access to the memory & harddrive. ===== ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lonni J.
