Thanks; well then I guess it would be less for a used one, ...or else I would just buy a new one (right?) Do you happen to know if there are any [gnu/] Linux distro's that would run on this? (and have drivers for everything including the wifi); ? (and - if so - whether there is any way to buy the HW without the SW?) and Hmmmm.... what's this Free 725 Printer ? I already have [/slash, don't need] a printer. Maybe I could sell the printer? (or give it away to some worthy cause and at least, get a tax deduction for it)? ...how much is a ["725"] printer worth? -- Mike Schwartz Glendale AZ schwartz@acm.org Mike.L.Schwartz@gmail.com On 8/17/06, keith smith wrote: > > You can get a Dell $659 > > Dell Inspiron E1505 > Inspiron E1505 > Intel(r) Core™ Duo Proc T2050 (1.60GHz/533MHz/2 X 1MB L2 Cache) > Genuine Windows(r) XP Media Center Edition 2005 > 24X CD Burner/DVD Combo Drive > 512MB Shared3 Single Channel DDR2 SDRAM 533MHZ, 1 DIMM > 60GB 5400rpm SATA Hard Drive > Free 725 Printer > Free Shipping & Handling > > > http://www.dell.com/content/topics/segtopic.aspx/tv?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&keycode=6Vc94&DGVCode=TV > > > > *Mike Schwartz * wrote: > > I am interested in buying a laptop PC, > up to 3, 4 years old (maybe younger); > as long as it has a > working wifi, > [mozilla] browser, > and typical stuff such as > a charger for the battery, > a USB port, > and a CD or DVD drive. > Is that too much to ask? > How much should I expect to pay? > If I am not in a hurry, is it better > to buy it over the net ("mail order"?). > I will probably pay by credit card. > ...it's needed to be able to access > (web-based) e-mail when out of town. > -- > Mike Schwartz > Glendale AZ > schwartz@acm.org > Mike.L.Schwartz@gmail.com > > > > - - - - - - - > Keith Smith > - - - - - - - > > http://travelingcheese.com/search_engine/increase-search-engine-traffic.html > - - - - - - - > > ------------------------------ > Get your email and more, right on the new Yahoo.com > > > --------------------------------------------------- > PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us > To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: > http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss >
