Hmmm... Not sure I want another 760 at this point. How much do the 760XL's
run usually? I think I've seen 600's on eBay for about $600, so that's the most
I want to spend (after I save up a bit). I can't believe I'm finally in college, using the
same 701CS I used in High School (it'll be 5 years old on March 6). ;)
Are anything from the 760 compatible with the 600? I have RAM, HD, and battieries.
I think the HD is a different caddy, right? As for OS, I'd like to run Windows 2000.
