I forgot to change the price in the rest of the post :)  Here goes again...

FOR SALE:

IBM ThinkPad 700C purchased earlier this year.

System Specs:
  IBM 486SLC/25 processor (socket exists for FPU)
  4, 8, 12 or 16 Mb of internal RAM
  120 Mb ESDI removable hard drive
  1.44 Mb 3.5" HD floppy drive
  10.4" active matrix TFT color screen
  Trackpoint II integrated pointing device (and a few extra rubber tips of
        different colors)
  Full sized keyboard
  DOS 5 and OS/2 2.1 installed
  Brand new Extended Warranty (a full year of ON SITE service from IBM.  If it
        breaks, call IBM and they'll come out and service it that day.)
  Two years of standard warranty remaining
  NiMH battery, 2 hour battery life
  Universal power brick.  Will operate and recharge the machine on 110 or 220
        volts automatically.  Recharges the battery in 1.5 hours, regardless of
        whether or not the machine is on.)
  Sleep mode (operates after preset period of activity, or if the lid is closed.
        The machine will remain in sleep for 5 days or so on a charge)
  Volume slider for internal speaker
  Original documentation and packaging

The machine also includes the normal system software, and other ThinkPad stuff
I've likely forgotten.  A single caveat:  This machine is MicroChannel, not ISA;
LINUX will not be able to use the internal hard drive (or the expansion box), thus
I'm upgrading to a ThinkPad with an ISA bus.

The machine is unscratched, unscuffed and has an empty error log.  With the
renewal of the on-site service for another year, it is effectively new.  If
interested, I can throw in some development tools (MIX Power C, Quick C...)

Asking price (with 16 Meg): now $3400 obo.  If you'd like less RAM,
I can always use some of the left over in the next ThinkPad, make an offer :)
