I don't use cd-rom's that often, so a cd-rom >slot is of little interest.

Also, does the 600 have a one year warranty? It seems that all 7xx series have a 3 year warranty, while the 3xx and 5xx have a 1 year warranty (another good thing about my 701). -- Paul Khoury <pkhoury@loop.com> http://pkhoury.dyn.ml.org Sent from my ThinkPad 701CS running OS/2 Warp 4.0, Fixpack 5 There are 19 Processes with 72 Threads.
