Re: [CGUYS] Notebook for daughter
I have an IBM x31 ...older model which is very well built as opposed to later x40+ which is tinny... It's small and does not have an optical drive. Take a look at the T series IBMs after model 23 which have a drive slot where you can get a DVDR and also other stuff fits in there. They are great and not tinny. Try overstock.com and elsewhere. I purchased from NY city vendor who is VERY conscientious and helpful. They have a webiste lots of which is in an oriental language but don't be put off ...on the fone they are all english speaking and nice. They are an authorized IBM repair facility. The one I purchased was a refurb. It looked brand new and had all the IBM software just like a new one. http://www.greatamco.com/ I have nothing to do with them so this is not a plug. -Original Message- From: Marcio V.

[CGUYS] Notebook for daughter
An afterthought -- Apple refurbishes iBooks and sells new and used at a discount to educators. You might want to ask about an educator discount wherever you choose to buy. I loved my first iBook (G3). Have had issues with my current one, and have thought I would review the option of switching to a less expensive PC when this one gets to the end of the trail. -- Terry * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?

Re: [CGUYS] Notebook for daughter
If you want an older one you might try Dell refurbs they usually have a good lot of refurbed Dells and most of these models will still have XP on them. Next is Compgeeks. (www.compgeeks.com) Finally there is always Ebay but you want something that has some guarantee on it.
