I have been wanting a laptop for quite some time. I couldn't justify the $1000 that it would take to buy a base model, since we HAVE computers, and I only *need* it 4-5 times per year. Yeah, I'll use it more than that, but I really wanted it for my business trips, and times like this February when we go on vacation to Texas.
I had casually watched ebay, but the thought scared me to death. There's a big difference between a $10 movie, and a laptop costing hundreds. If I got duped I would be SO depressed. With my final OT check, I was looking online and Kevin said "buy it" when he saw the one I was looking at. It was under $300 and the seller had 100% positive feedback. It has Win2000, which I'm comfortable with, and the battery isn't garaunteed, but comes with AC adapter.
We ordered it, but agreed to not say anything to anyone until we had it and knew the condition. Well, I'm tellin' ya ain't I?! It's great. Had some networking issues at first (big suprise, huh?) but it's all good now. The even BETTER thing? The battery works! I'm running on it now to test duration, but so far so good!
Mom can take it if SHE goes anywhere, too! I'm so happy. I'm not allowed to ask for anything for a year, but I'm OK with that. heh heh
