    I just got off the phone with Powernotebooks.com , Great service.
    Donald stratton helped me pick a PowerPro L 8:15 for my son to use while at school and for gaming.

    I have no clue what any of those numbers or letters mean but they're better then the ones from dell i was looking at.

    It has
    1gig of RAM
    100mb 7,200 rpm Harddrive
    a something-resolution matte screen(forgot what it was :eek: )
    and a Core 2 duo processor thingy

    Not sure what else to list.
    Now on Xmas my son will be the proud owned of a Compal Hel80, that I'll steal from him so i can play solitaire on :D

    Thanks again Powernotebooks.com,


    William D.

    Hey William...I remember working with you but I don't think you completed the ordering process.

    Just a heads up for you in case you intended to but didn't realize the order was not actually placed. Give me another call if you would like me to help you place the order.
