Hey Ted - I totally agree - good Refurb better than New & Cheap. Check out the
deal I already found:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA5HA36D7669&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-DealCatcher-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10440897&PID=249294&SID=996886055_http:www.dealcatcher.comsearchlaptop
This looks like a really good option to me!

Sign up for the NewEgg newsletter for a worthwhile discount and look for some
of their refurb stuff. You can find an older refurb machine
(3-4 years old) that might have been top-of-the line 4 years ago, for
$150 - $250. It's a lot more likely to last than a cheap new machine at that
price.
