look guys.. :-)
we ALL know that thinkpads and any other high tech item or computer, ALL
lose value at an alarming rate..
I can cite many personal examples..
but why beat up on the guy who is merely selling a machine that did not
working out for him..
its a terrific little machine for those who want something in that size..
for others, it is not..
and there are many vendors out there who'll sell a thing cheaper than the
next guy..
like an ice cube in the Florida sun or even the fog of san francisco, and to
paraphrase the wicked witch of the west "its melting".. :-)
BUT, OTH, all this hype about price may help Andrew sell his little machine
more quickly..
