Fair enough. I'll agree that lack of availability of intallation media
is potential problem for anyone wanting Windows. Although I would have
thought anyone no this list would be buying a second or replacement
unit and hence have media.

In any case, whatever the  ebay unit goes for would be a reasonable
metric for those of us not needing installation media.

If anyone is watching the auction, please let us know what it ends
up going for (to save us all watching it).

Regards,
DigbyT
