Don't see the sense in encouraging bad behavior but always happy
to read someone else pointing out M$'s flaws and hypocrisy (below).
I am still looking for a local source of a used 12 or 16meg memory
module for my old IBM ThinkPad 360cse (prefer to buy local and
support our FL economy in a small way).
Anyone seen such a critter or can suggest a source? So far Internet
searches only turn up $79. - $89. new modules ... way too pricey for
such an old laptop.
Thanks! doc
