Ahh, so that's how it works. I don't know how long I won't have a credit card,
but I don't really think I want one anyways. :)
You wouldn't happen to know where I might look to find someone

Actually, there is the Smartsuite beta out now which is a 30 something MB DL
that you can get. I haven't got it because A. lack of space, B. 9600bps is TOO
SLOW (and don't even think about the ThinkPad @ 14.4 either!).
Now, if I could only find

That sounds like IBM. They can't even ship out the plastic decal that says "IBM
ThinkPad" in colored letters (on the outside and sometimes the inside), or the

Definately, depending on what is there. Particulary TCP/IP networking, getting
OS/2 credentials, programming, etc.
Privately email about it.
