Hi Chris,
I was just about to answer your last post, when I
spotted your bargain purchase below....terrific!
I too recently visisted the Dell Refurbished site
which was so extensive I called them and they were able to come up with a
few
offerings that would have taken me quite a spell to
isolate. I ended up with a C800 Latitude Laptop w/Win2k, 256 MB
Ram,
modem and nic combo, CD ROM, 20 GB HD, Floppy and
15" display and warranty, all for $1600.00 plus change before sales
tax.
Their tech support, when you don't have to
wait on a frustratingly long queue, is exceptional.
Stu
PS The Babson macros you sent have a file
extension of "mex" which none of my viewers can decipher.

Subject: [RT] PCs -- IBM > Dell >
Ebay?
Last week I decided to upgrade my last remaining 17" monitor to
a 21. Not that there was anything wrong with the 1993 vintage model,
just my 41 yo eyeballs are telling me that I either have to sit up in my chair
to read emails, or change something. So after most computer
products I've bought in the last 10 years depreciating by half in the first
3-6 months, I looked at ebay. A couple hours and $279 later, I was the
proud owner of a last year's model Dell/Trinitron off lease and factory
refurbished with a nice long warranty. Didn't check Dell's price,
but I would guess easily twice what I paid. From the quantity of
offerings, I am not the only one.
Makes me think of the time ( early 90s was it?) when the world all
of a sudden realized that IBM computers were know better than any
others. Today I'm sure it can be said that there are some people
that will only buy Dell, Gateway or whatever. Maybe some of the same
people who back then said they'd never buy anything but IBM.
There's no doubt that some will always want the latest and
greatest. Love those new Sony 24s that go for $2,000. But lets
see, I could buy 7 21s for the price of one 24. No thanks.
