Gotta really nice deal on a laptop yesterday. $500 bucks got me:

IBM Thinkpad A31
1.9 ghz Pent 4
30 gig HD
512 ram
cd/dvd
16 mb Radeon Mobility 7500
16 bit Soundblaster
15 inch screen

Car/plane charger
Briefcase

It's got all the trimmings, too. Dual PCMCIA slots, dual USBs,onboard LAN and 56k modem.

Much more than I was expecting for $500!

This guy that plays paintball near me has a job at Qwest, and he got the laptop at cost because they were switching to new laptops. He bought it for some chick, but she backed out though, and he couldn't find anyone to buy it for 2 months so he he just up and sold it to me for 500. Score!
