Just be careful - eBay is also spelled "caveat emptor" I purchased a used X-20 when the video card in my old one stopped working. The one I purchased was only 180ドル and setup was as easy as moving the hard drive over - but the seller neglected to tell me that the network card was non-functional. Fortunately, I could move the network card from my old X-20 in only 15 minutes so I recovered from that one easily. I like and recommend thinkpads - used or otherwise. My X-20 is close to 6 years old (600 MHz PIII with 368 MB RAM max) but runs 24x7 running a telephony app without complaint. Eric Floyd Johnson wrote: > Dear PLUGgers, > > My Latitude CPx went THPTH!
