The more important thing to look for is counterfeits. There are lots of them out there, and you can usually only guess what you've got if you don't buy from an authorized dealer, but if you find a suspiciously good deal, that's usually a fair clue. There are many genuine refurbs out there too, and they work as well as new. > and fear that the name of the company may be predictive. I've bought not a small number of items from Plonter over the years and have been consistently satisfied with both the purchases and the company. In the interest of complete disclosure, I should mention that not everything bought from them was related to computers. They are also http://www.waterbed.co.il/ and http://motorbike.co.il/ >> If they're interested or not in selling it...

Plonter actually sells what they advertise. Sometimes it takes a while, like when they special-ordered parts for me from overseas. But the delay is outside Israel, in that case. --sambo _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
