Hi,

I have the following laptop for sale in the Houston, Texas area only:

Compaq Presario 1250
-AMD-K6 300 MHz
-64 MB RAM
-6.4 GB Hard drive
-12.1" TFT active matrix screen with no dead pixels
-2 MB video memory
-512K L2 cache
-internal floppy disk drive
-internal 24x CD-ROM drive
-1 Type II PC card slot
-56k v.90 internal modem
-JBL speakers
-Lithium ion battery
-AC adapter
-all ports on the back of the unit including USB
-built-in track pad
-external Kensington scroll mouse
-All documentation

Pre-loaded software:
-Windows 98
-Microsoft Office 2000 Premium Edition
       (includes Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Access, Outlook, Publisher,
         FrontPage, PhotoDraw - costs around $600 if bought new)
-Microsoft Works
-Microsoft Encarta 98, Money 98, Bookshelf 98
-Quicken Basic 98
-Myst (popular game)
-McAfee Virus Scan

CD-ROMs included:
-Compaq Quick Restore
-Encarta 98
-Money 98
-Quicken Basic 98
-Bookshelf 98
-Microsoft Office 97 Small Business Edition (NOT Office 2000)
-BodyWorks 5.0 Anatomy Program
-Myst
-The Impressionist Collection Screen Saver

Please see below for the "official" specifications from the Compaq
site.  When I bought the computer, I deleted some of the Compaq
proprietary software including that which controls the "easy access
internet" buttons because the software was quite buggy and more
trouble than it was worth.  That software also used up a lot of
memory just running in the background.

I'm asking $800 because of all the preloaded software.  As
mentioned above, Office 2000 Premium Edition alone would cost
you $600 new.

I would like to sell locally in the Houston area so that you may see
the computer before buying it.  Also, I would prefer payment via
PayPal, if possible.

Please, only serious inquiries.  Email me directly at:

pulin@onebox.com

Thanks.  See below for the specs:
