Speaking of used laptops. My 6+ years old Compaq laptop stopped booting 
recently. After doing the usual perambulations and sacrifices, and it 
still not working, I yanked the hard drive and slapped that in a nice 
little USB case to carry about with me.

So, I'm in the market for an inexpensive laptop that works, and that 
would mostly work with Linux or FreeBSD.--If the crappy winmodem won't 
work, I won't care, so long as the hardware is still functional and it 
has working ethernet or PCCARD slot for my ethernet card.

I'm wondering if anyone knows of good sources for working, used laptops.

Cheers,
Jason
