Thanks for the geeks.com site Dale.
I'll check it out more in detail later on.
Lots of refurbished laptops, which (sadly)
don't go over too well in terms of family preference.
As for me, I've been using hand-me-downs for so long,
upgrading or kicking them to the curb as needed.

However, the wife doesn't share my perspective on it and
would prefer a new computer. Will keep up the search -
and again- I thank you.
