I thought of ebay, but I've not used my ebay id in about 6 years, and 
I'd rather not go that route.

I found a couple sites today that sell refurbished laptops and they even 
offer warranties. Www.usanotebook.com looked like a pretty good place to 
go online.

I think I'll do some looking around in the Salem (NH) area. I'll check 
out Microseconds and PCMax.

It's funny, in a way. For $700 dollars you can get a brand new, low-end 
notebook, or you can get a mid-range notebook that is one or two years 
old that has better specs than the brand new one.

I'm definitely going the used route this time around, as it is not going 
to be my primary computer system.

Cheers,
Jason
