WTB inexpensive thinkpad, active matrix preferred

[Paul Rubin <phr@netcom.com>]

I'm looking to get a Thinkpad for my father, preferably with active
matrix display and still under warranty (mostly so he can get tech
support, not repairs).  I'm steering him away from off-brands (Toshiba)
for the same reason.

His machine needs to be able to run Windoze 95, MS Word, and maybe a
web browser (MSIE or Netscape).  Something like a 750C might be a
reasonable choice if the price is right.  Super duper disk capacity
and MMX extensions aren't an issue, but SVGA and built-in CD-rom are
maybe worthwhile.  We can spend up to $1500 or so, depending on the
unit.  Suggestions or offers are solicited.  (Reply by private mail
unless you're saying something that you think would interest the
list).  Thanks!
