I'm looking for a laptop computer (not to run 3DS), but it doesn't need to be the newest P133 on the market. I'm looking for around a 486/25 or 33 with 8 megs ram 340 hd +/-, and would like to find a used one for around 1k. Is this possible? It seems like all of the new ones in the magazines are still all around 3k to 5K! What happens to all of the ones that get upgraded? -Mick Thaxton-

Mick – I wish I knew also what happened to all the upgraded laptops <G> I lust after a colored monitor for my laptop. I have a Canon Notejet 486 which was originally a SL but I got the chip to go DX with it. It only has 4meg of ram and a 250 meg hard drive with floppy slot and two PCMCIA slots for modem, etc. BUT – it has the coolest built in printer under the keyboard! Very sturdy machine and I use it a lot but color makes such a difference. Guess I'll be waiting like you for the prices to come down a bit more. Anne

Anne… PMFJI, but I've always thought that Canon was neat. I expect that in the not too distant future you'll see Canon offer a Pentium version, with a beautiful color display, CD ROM bay, and…. a color bubblejet printer built in just like the B/W one. It'd be a neat toy… but after having three/four laptops that eventually didn't keep up <BG>, I've kinda given up since you can't really upgrade them like a desktop. But if I had money to burn <G>, hmmmm? \\\. ========================= >-==<MIKE(>=– >-==*- /
