Hi All, >The price of development, product quality, and materials aside, do you >think you could even break even on marketing, packaging,shipping, support >and labor. I think many folks who spent $$$$K on a laptop wont blink twice >to periodically spend $ for some consumable items that are of known >quality. I'd be leary of Cat's tounge bits flaking into my keyboard. Ya >might even get sued if it damaged the keyboard and/or voided the warrantee. The cat's tounge trackpoint cap I got from IBM's EasyServe started flaking after only a couple of weeks. I went back to a smooth one, but that got cruddy after two weeks, so now I'm constantly rejuvinating my original cat's tounges in an ultrasonic cleaner. Doesn't clean it all the way, but definitely better than nothing or rubbing it on a pant-leg... By the way, on the other thread: low amounts of free disk space definitely do slow down OSs a lot. Just from experience. It also makes defragging futile since there's no room to maneuver. Are the larger harddrives by toshiba, etc., also faster than the original IBM 340 or 540 MB HDs used in the 701s? axel
