[olug] Call for Wireless Card Demo under Linux

[Nathan D. Rotschafer]

Seems nice enough to me...screen is crack and the keyboard is missing one
shift key...as I said I ordered both on ebay for a total of $50...I paid
nothing for the lappy so it is a great deal for me.  I may give up my
Inspiron 8100 in favor of it cause I like it's features better.

P.S. For those of you who didn't get my message about Qwest...Qwest provides
my DSL line...$28 is what you pay for the line then $6.99 for ISP through
Qwest.net...then I pay $15/month for 8 static IPs...a /29 basically...with 5
usable...

what do you think of your 600m?

I just ordered one for myself.  I got one for the head of the company and
she seems to like it.  It's carted home to work along with a baby and
other stuff everyday and hasn't sprung any leaks yet.

I was looking at the x41 and other IBMs but I don't know of anyone
personally that has one so I was reluctant and opted for the Dell.
