Laptops

[gaf at blu.org (Jerry Feldman)]

Just a suggestion, but Compaq's Factory store has had some decent 
refurbished laptops (with full warrantee) for short money.

I've had my refurbished Presario laptop running Linux for well over a year. 
At home I plug it in to my network and rarely turn it off. I use it for 
presentations to my students. I bought one for my daughter and a friend 
got one. I have not heard one complaint.
