If online, could you please suggest some > stores? sure. ebay is an on-line bidding/auction site. http://www.ebay.com it is a good idea to read the entire add for an item before bidding. i've never had a problem in any auctions i've been involved with, but reading the entire add has alerted me to sometimes fine details (i.e., payment options, shipping costs and times, auction type) that can be important. if you have specific questions about ebay (i.e., non-debian-laptop) feel free to contact me off list and i'm happy to help. -- Sergio J.
