I wouldn't touch a Compaq if you paid me. I've been burnt far too many
times by their hardware "enhancements" and non-standard parts. Stick
with names like Dell, IBM and HP. IMHO, you can't beat a ThinkPad.
I love my T21. A friend recently picked up an A22m that had a 1 Ghz P-III
and half a gig of RAM for $1200 - off of uBid, IIRC... Rock-solid,
standard parts, outstanding quality, and it just flat-out works.
