[Cialug] OT - need to find a cheap loptop

[Todd E Thomas]

I've also used these guys a time or two, before going with Midwest 
Electronic Recovery to save on shipping.

It's a little more expensive but all hardware ships with Windows XP!!! 
It's very gratifying to just format the drive but not $50 more gratifying :|

They have a 6-month return policy, which is nice.
