    Wondering if I order from IBM, if they are gonna charge me tax.?

    Also do they provide you with the windows cd or just the image of it on the hard drive?

    What about driver discs and stuff?


    Thanks

    Of course they will charge you tax and shipping, that is why I buy off ebay (providing they have great feedback) they should include a copy of windows on a disk plus any other backup software that comes on it. There are some real good deals on ebay, just watch who you buy it from. I bought my T42p off there and it was 100% when I got it. Be sure to have a pixel check done (usually 50.00 more) if you buy it off there because IBM wont take it back unless there is like more than 8 bad ones. I saved 600.00 by buying my GVU T42p off ebay from this gentleman:

    He does have others, just email him if you want something a bit cheaper.
