I would suggest you take a look at <http://www.bobjohnson.com> instead of EBay. He has a Panasonic Toughbook CF-128 1Gig notebook for $299. I have never bought from him but he gives a lifetime warranty on any used Laptop he sells. That makes me lean towards him for my next purchase. JMHO Wayne -- A.
