... abspc site you referenced had... BUT... no HD CD... ethernet card, keyboard, mouse, operating system or any software. not a deal, imo.... . GULP :o) I missed those facts, especially the one not having any hard drive attached. While i have heard the word "ethernet" it seems like forever, and i know its part of the network, i'am still completely out of tune with this aspect of our computers and ways that they connect via the internet. (or) ethernet (or) ether net and my very young childhood experience of about age of 2 when i got a bad ear infection and the doctors at that time made house calls versus todays Emergency Rooms at hospitals, and the good doctor placed a net over my face and poured ether onto it, as anesthetic before the mini operation into my ear cavity. . So ethernet, the word i "block out" to not remember that time. . Just one of those mental blocks we humans find easy to do :o) . "i am happy as pink at my new (refurb ) dell. larry" . ok, so when does it arrive Hope for sunny pink clouds and not dark rain clouds when you plug it in and boot it. doug
