I hope so... I plan on purchasing around March, when I get in Iraq and find out more about my connectivity situation... ^_^
I wouldn't be surprised to see a huge increase in laptop and tablet PC use/sales prior to me getting back from active duty...
Thanks... I noticed the Cash Price at PCTourque... Would PayPal get that discount?
If nobody knows, I can always call them and ask since I'd like to get an idea if there is a possible DoD discount as well... ^_^

Anyone know any differences between the Sager and the Pro-Star notebooks besides the lid badge?
The specs, pricing, and even the look of the notebooks is the same... I'm looking for a nice upgrade to my current laptops before I go to Iraq, and I've always wanted a...

My first video card ever was an Oak Technology with 256K RAM in an ISA slot, but I do not recall the model...
I still have and use a Trident TVGA 8900C (ISA slot, 1MB RAM) for testing purposes...
Newer motherboards should auto-detect it, but if it doesn't try updating your BIOS first before flipping for an ATA card... If you do have to go the ATA card route, they are very inexpensive...
I also got the dealy email... Since next week is the last week of July, I guess it's not a huge dealy... Probably just repackaging the new software offerings... ^_^
