Yeah. I picked up a 720c recently for $1200 with 16MB RAM and
lots of other goodies. The problem is, of course, the 720c isn't
supported anymore (is it? IBM's web site seems to ignore it alot).
Also, I'm looking for a place to get a bigger replaceable hard
disk, since I've only got 170MB and doublers suck (but I use them
anyway). Is the only place to get these IBM itself? I'm thinking I might
need to upgrade the ROMs or something. Anyone up to speed on the latest
720c stuff?
