Price: CAD$1720 (that's about US$1300) It's open-box (meaning it's been to a customer, and returned within 7 days). If it's anything like the T22 I had, I'm sure I'll love it. One thing mentioned to me on IRC: load the system see if the fan goes on, then unload, and see if the fan goes off. Perhaps this was for the T40's but I'm not sure. When I visit the shop, I'll be taking my FreeSBIE CD with me. cheers -- Dan Langille : http://www.langille.org/ BSDCan - http://www.bsdcan.org/
