You want $800 because of $600 in preloaded software?

How about you format the hard drive and then I'll give you $200 for the
laptop, minus the software?

| 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:
