RE:"Where are you looking at notebooks? Retail? VERY small portion of the notebook market. Anyway....go with CPQ or IBM...don't like the Toshiba's and losing marketshare fast." Just looking retail. Usual places. We favor the Compaq. IBM is nice but the like the pointer pad on the Compaq. Looking at a Presario 1600 series K6-2-450 or above with a 14.1 TFT display. Coming in at about $1799 w/64meg/24x CD ROM/6.0 Gig HD... Any ideas where to buy cheaper? Pentium III notebooks run about $500 more. Not worth it. Celerons are about the same but usually aren't available over 433 MHz. Toshibas don't seem to have as nice a dislay and I don't like the eraser pointing device. I do like the little Sonys too...for size but the full size Compaqs have all the bells and whistles. Jim
