In today's L.A. Times, I notice this in the classified section: "IBM ThinkPad 755Cs, 50 MHz, 4 MB RAM, 175 MB hard drive (I presume this is a mistake). Nu in box, never used. Paid $3995, now $2800" Does anyone think this is a good deal? Here's what I'm thinking--and somebody please let me know whether or not any of this is do-able: I have a 750C. If I were to buy a machine like the above, I would be interested in Swapping Screens and using my Active-Matrix screen on the body that contains the faster processor (I'd also put my larger hard drive in it). Can such a screen swap be done? And if so, what do you think I could get, selling my 750 with a 170 hard drive and a Cs-type Dual-Scan screen? Also--has anyone who owns a 755-series machine upgraded processors? Do you know what is involved? Is it a simple chip-swap (where you could buy the chip from any source) or is there some sort of daughterboard thing going on that you would have to get from IBM? And the cost is...? A couple months ago I saw someone selling a 755C with 500 MB drive and 36 MB RAM for about the same price...I could kill myself for missing that one, since I looked in the classifieds a week late! ----- Randy Whittle whittle@chaph.usc.edu | My opinions are mine, but | USC School of Business (Fight on, 'SC Trojans!)| since I'm right, they should | (How's this for a snotty .sig?
