I need at least a 500 mhz laptop. My 500 mhz Celeron desktop plays a song in BIAB in 6 or 7 seconds.

My 166 mhz laptop takes 7 sec just to get the song list screen up and it takes 21 to 25 seconds before a song will start play.
Email me please if you have one for sale.
Thanks

I'm headed to Circuit City first thing in the morning. Maybe I'll camp out tonight. I'm taking a bomb with me in case they tell me they don't have them. They are advertising in a flier today:

Hp Celeron M processor 320
1.3 ghz
DVD-CD-RW combo
256 MB
40GB
$899 with a $100 instant rebate and a $300 mail-in rebate.
On ebay the want more than that for PII's and P111's with 500MHZ and scratches on the screen with no operating system. It pays to read the paper a couple of times a week even if most of it is depressing. Ha! Ha!

Cost $499

Sounds like a great deal Boo. DNJ's laptop just bit the dust, so he may be interested as well at that price. He's using his home based laptop now.

Good luck, Brick. At least I will NOT compete with you.

The laptop is very good at that price.

Boo, are you certain it is a laptop? I've never seen a new one that low.

Donny,

The Dell Insprion 1150 is my back-up system, got it directly from Dell six months ago for $699. Same one they're now advertising for $899. You have to eliminate some of the frills to get the same price I did, however, the deal that Boo is looking seems better.
