bargain ?

Steve C.,

I have two questions:
1) Do you know what the -2 part of 600E-2 means. According to
the IBM site (from the link on the
compgeeks site) the 600E comes in three flavors.

2) Do you know if the USB port is useable with eComStation?

Sheridan

PS I'm looking for an inexpensive, non state of the art laptop
that I can connect to my home LAN
(OS/2) and to the LAN at school (NT4). While the price of this
one is attractive, perhaps a different
model that has built in ethernet would be more practicable for my
intended use. That would save
having to keep track of a dongle for a PC card. Any suggestions?
