    thanks. these places are very pricey though. Is there a computer show happening any time soon? Maybe in Pomona?

    great idea! Refurbished does not mean damaged right?

    thats my computer lol getting old in the tooth now
    refurbished means it went out to a customer and they never liked it so it came back but now it's not new
    mostly they just dust them off and sell them to a dealer but there are always some inbetween and they get more from a member of the public than a dealer
    still get the same guarantee also
