I also got my 701 in teh same manner. I got it from a store I was working
at (Computer City). It was a display model. They had 2:
1. active, with the 720 drive, port replicator, power supply and battery.
2. Dual Scan, 340 drive, none of the rest. They didn't even think it worked.
Both were sold for $200. Somebody got to th eActive screen before I got to
work that day. Even still, it's tough to feel sorry for oneself when I got
a cool laptop, with full warranty, for $200. I went around with EZServe,
an easy experience, and they pretty much replaced everything.
