Laptop for $269

Laptop for $269
I'm in NYC and needed a new laptop quick. I've wanted to do that $400
OLPC charity deal, or maybe even that Asus $200 competitor.

But I knew I'd have to load Excel files and give PowerPoint, and
didn't want to wait. So after avoiding being ripped off from one of
those fancy electonic stores with a killer window display, I Googled
refurbished laptops NYC. I immediately found a place downtown, The
Little Laptop Shop, with its phone-number ready to tap. I called,
verified that they were open to 7:00PM. I went over by subway, bought
one, a 500MHz Pentium M Compaq Armada, for $299. For me, Google
default search even controls who gets my local business--especially
now with the iPhone.

I'm now on my way home, tapping out this blog post on my iPhone. Now,
that's agility!
