Whatever you buy, don't go for the IBM. Last Year, I got to trade in my CRT for a a new 15"IBM LCD for about 200 bucks, Cool Huh ? but end up to find out there's a irritating vertical line across the LCD. Initially, I thought, Oh, must be my Graphics card problem. So I lived with it for a few days, until I swapped with another computer, to find out worst, no display ! Then after a few more months, I finally went to ther IBM service centre and was replaced with a 'second-hand LCD'. God, what a nightmare! IBM should'nt mean 'I BLAME MICROSOFT', IBM should blame himself, what a let down for such so call big brand company
