Greetings!

I'm going to be in the market to buy a computer very soon, and I am trying to
see just what I can pull off for about $1500 or so.

What I'm looking for:

Something fairly decent, like a used Powerbook/Thinkpad or so; something that
is a good, reliable, portable. Fairly powerful (I'm thinking like PB 170-180,
or one of the Higher Thinkpads). Also if I could get it, with a modem.

Anybody got anything for sale?

What I'd like with it as well:

Original boxes and packing
All power supplies, startup disks, etc.
In *really* good shape (no stickers, soda stains, etc)
All manuals/owner's guides

I'm a lot more partial to a powerbook. I know that I can snag a 170 for about
$1000 or so, but it's pretty much out of the loop. Something like a PB 180
would be ideal.

In any case, if you folks have anything for sale, please drop me a line at

rusty@informix.com

Thanks.

Rusty
