Bryan, Just checked the Dell Education Web site. You could get a Latitude D500 with the specs you've quoted for ca. $1450. This has both wired and wireless Ethernet built in (choose the Dell TrueMobile over the Intel and you get both 802.11b & g for the same price). It includes a three-year NBD warranty as well.

I'm curious what brand other schools are buying - I just called the big three and Gateway has a laptop for $1399, Dell has the same one for $1700 and IBM is around $1700. To me a Pee Cee is a Pee Cee. What are your thoughts? I quoted a Intel Pentium M Processor 1.3 GHz, 14" display, 512MB RAM. - Bryan -- Bryan Thompson Technology Coordinator Winooski School District 60 Normand Street Winooski, VT 05404 Phone: 802-655-2555 Fax: 802-655-6538 AIM: bryantg3 mailto:[log in to unmask] http://www.winooski.k12.vt.us
