man- that's tempting...

There's always eBay. If IBM is selling them cheap you might just luck out.
Also have you contacted Bill yet? He may have used machines also, not sure.

I clicked that link and got a price of $1087.15. Also, if you go to the Mastercard IBM store (or Visa or whatever), the price is $1061.65 for the 237372U with warranty until September 2006.

I'm in the market for a really cheap T40, around $1000. I'm looking for ~1.5 PM, and 512mb RAM. Please tell me if I'm looking for too much for the money, but that's my budget at the moment

Thank You!

Why don't you just wait for 5 or 6 months, so many ppl will be dumping their IBM TP's (just like Sony Clie's) you'll probably pick-up two T40's (one for a spare) for about a $100.00

somehow i doubt that...

why would they become surplus in 5-6 months, however?

There won't be.
He's just spreading around crap because of the new PC Division.
Plus he's supposedly and ex-employee.

anyone know what it takes to get a Mastercard Business card? does it require a business

? If so, then that's a good deal down the drain.

anyway, I think I'm going for the Certified Used...

.:Edit:.

yeah... you need a business

Oh well, i'm still going for it...

They managed to tack on an additional $65 for shipping (it said shipping price was included), and an additional $50 for tax ?!?!?!?!
