I agree. After buying a computer for several thousands dollars, I can't imagine somebody will turn around and get a "backup" computer, even if it is a used one, just in case. I replaced my Pismo with my current 17" and I still have the Pismo, so I could use it in case I have to have my 17" serviced, but I can understand that someone who spends $3500 for a new machine might be a little strapped for cash... -Laurent. -- ======================================================================== Laurent Daudelin Developer, Multifamily, ESO, Fannie Mae mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Washington, DC, USA ************************ Usual disclaimers apply *********************** -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
