...more specifically, the battery. The Toshiba Sattilite 115CS's battery (a newer APC one, to boot, but it's been a few years) is loosing it's charge, and no hypercharger's going to fix this problem.
I also belive that a newer laptop under $200 is going to be a better investment than trying to buy another battery. CardBus slots and 64 megs of ram are the minimum I'm settling for.
Any ideas?
( Fast forward to real today )
If you've followed from my previous entry (above) , you'll know I'm looking for a new laptop. Something I can slap Linux on, has at least 64 megs of RAM and Cardbus slots (for 32-bit cards, aka 802.11g networking, USB ports, yada yada yada).

gentle_wolfox and he recommended the Dell CPi's. Granted, he knows them kinda inside-out, having repaired them and gotten a few working. So I thought "Well, if they're at most $600, I'll look..."
Ebay's selling some of the better CPi's for max $200.
Yep, This is the one. Glad I'm finally getting paid for some stuff.
