CompUSA this week has a Compaq Sempron 3100 notebook on sale for $299 (after rebates). http://compusa.shoplocal.com/compusa/default.aspx?action=browsepagedetail&storeid=2402335&rapid=312387&pagenumber=1&listingid=-2094476353&ref=%2fcompusa%2fdefault.aspx%3faction%3dbrowsepagespread%26storeid%3d2402335%26rapid%3d312387%26pagenumber%3d1%26prvid%3dCompUSA-060910%26promotioncode%3dCompUSA-060910 This is something that will satisfy (for the time being anyway) our thirt for putting our hands on a (home made) Solaris desktop/notebook but should not raise too much concern from the wife/husband (though you have to spend another ~$50 or so to upgrade the RAM). $1,375 is definitely too much a number, even for a good cause, & this is not a machine that can be laughed at. Using an inexpensive machine has another advantage: when anything screwed up you can always blame it on the cheap hardware. My thought is, save you $,$$$ until AMD/ATI optimizes their video chipsets (then we can really make it a GO).
