Hi Dianne,

Have you considered the offerings from OQO?

Yes, they're not laptops but can run regular software and are very easy to
carry around.

i'm sure there are some of both, but i would have to wonder why they
are selling a fairly new laptop. As you get closer to 2 yrs old, i
wouldn't be, mostly because that's when i start thinking about my next
one that i get when i get closer to 3 yrs.

I would walk away from a sale that did not include docs or a restore
CD. I don't know if most theives refomat or just sell as is, so
browsing the HD might give you a clue.

AFAIK, the only thing available is the phone home option of some
security software. I don't know if entering the seriel at dell or hp's
sites would give you a clue or not...
