Cool beans! That's a helluva deal! > Once again, thanks =-) I found a reason to like eBay again. I buy everything I can on eBay. You just have to watch who you're buying from (feedback), make sure they take PayPal, and if they don't know how to write an accurate description, either e-mail them or give the item a pass. On eBay communication is everything. I even bought my R3240 on eBay. Got it for $800 brand new, except the jerk of a seller had opened the box. Everything was in the original wrapping except that the Windows XP CD had been opened. I know he made a copy of it, because why else would he have opened just that item? It doesn't matter, though. I have the original CD in my possession and the first thing I did was to reformat the hard disk with EXT3 and put Linux on it. I am legally entitled to the license but I'll never use it. _______________________________________________ LinuxR3000 mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pcxperience.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linuxr3000 Wiki at http://prinsig.se/weekee/
