Although it is somewhat of a leap of faith, most of the seller seem to be dealers who sell online over and over again. Ebay is also a registered auction where you can find out what people who have conducted business with the seller/buyer can find out any negative or positive feedback on each other. Also some sellers will send the items C.O.D. especially if it is something big. Oh, by the way, I might need to email you directly sometime in the next month or so as I've now acquired a second HDD and am planning on loading OS/2 v.3 on it to see for myself what the relative merits are. I know I'll probably run into a few bugs, but am looking forward to getting my PCMCIA HDD to work. You wouldn't happen to know where I might look to find someone selling the old OS/2 Lotus Smartsuite would you? Now, if I could only find someone at IBM who will sell me another caddy for my 701! The people in the Direct parts department are useless. I was totally unable to convince them there was such a thing as a HDD caddy or the little plastic doo-hicky on the end of the battery!!! Oh, by the way, I've found a local bookstore who is selling out a massive amount a "old" computer books prices at $6 to $10. And there are a ton of OS/2 books by Sybex and Que. Let me know if you are interested. Stan
