Hello, I have tried to order TP755CE with some standard configurations (8MB RAM and 540 or 810MB disk) from IBM PC Direct. But I have been told for a while that these configurations are not available right now, and there may be a 3 week or longer delay. The Salesperson would not even give me a quote. Interestingly, IBM will sell me a TP755CE with a 340mb HD, and then sell me a 540mb HD separately if I am interested! Is this IBM's marketing ploy? Or is IBM considering discontinuing the TP755CE model very soon? I need to get an educational discount to be able to afford it, which would work out to ~ $4500 for the one with 540mb HD (IBM PC Direct Edu. Price). Is anyone aware of other reputable vendors who may be able to match this price? If not, I wonder if I should wait another month to check if IBM ever gets it in stock, of which I am skeptical. Would appreciate any and every advice. Regards, VGA (val@cast.msstate.edu) Valentine G.
