I've been shopping for T40s for awhile now.  I have one that I got on
overstock for about 450.00 or so.  I'm just bidding on one from ebay now
as well for about 450.00.  I think the T40 is a great laptop and a great
combnation of form, function, and price.

I've found that most things just work with it.  Its a great travel laptop
as well.
