Yeah - I'd have to go on line to do that and send money to the bank.  In
the end it was just easier for me to cruse Manhattan, and after shopping
around and finding no left over stock, I picked up an HP Mini with 6
hour bateries for about $350 including the tax for a 1gig ram and 160Gig
HD.

Not perfect, but it is done at least, ecept for the reinstall.

You must be a stupid engineer then, because politcs and technology have been attached at the hip since the 1st dynasty in Ancient Egypt.  I guess you missed that one."
