i want to make it clear i wasn't trying to promote tiger direct at all.  i've 
gotten two refurbed thinkpads from them (the t22 and the x21 i mentioned) and 
both worked great.  i was just trying to say that refurbished laptops can be a 
lot cheaper, have been like new (as promised) in my experience, and are slightly 
more likely to have linux friendly hardware being that they are of an earlier 
generation.

thanks for the consumer report daniel.  hope nobody gets burned (especially from 
taking my advice).
