So, whaddya think?

HERE IS THE NEW LAPTOP......

(I am still a little scurred.....)


NOW WHAT DO I DO? (hahahahahaha)

nice system. for a first purchase it will sure suck you in!

Nice, I just bought a machine just like that from a School District sale. How much did you pay? I got mine for $50, has airport card, two batteries & power adapter.

However I think the gym teacher had mine, it stunk like old gym socks. I replaced the keyboard and that helped quite a bit.

Santa is bringing it to my 8 year old this Christmas.

Good luck.

Congrats!

Every year she school district/county here sells all of the machines over 4 years old. PCs are $35 and all laptops are $50. To bad it's only one per person. I got in late but I heard they had some 600mghz units with 15gb hard drives. I saw some MacPro G3 Towers come out while I was waiting to get in, $35 bucks for those.

The PCs were P4s with 17" flat screens, mice, keyboard etc. Mostly Dell's, the corporate looking desk units, but $35? SWEET!
