Hi Dirk,

Thank you.  I had already found your source among others.

The thing that ticks me off, is that I can go to Best Buy and buy a
notebook with Windows installed that is cheaper than I can find a
notebook on the internet with no OS.  Bill Gates has succeeded in taxing
every computer built.  Seems to me that this violates the anti-trust
laws.  So I am ticked.  Very few (relatively - I have found dozens) will
sell you a computer without the OS.  These are all more expensive, I
have been looking all day.

I have a big projection TV (because of my eyesight) at the foot of my
bed and perhaps I can just plug one of my computers into it as Chris
suggests.
