Tony,
Is that the version 2 GS-1200 Laptop or the version 3? You can tell by the direction the "caps lock" key is facing.

Do they have a Xenon version of that laptop with a brighter screen? Sometimes I cant see my regular Gs when the sun hits it.

I do like the sense of humour we have on this forum, its great. [Razz]

That offer Tony has been made before to other people and one I wouldnt go near with your money let alone mine. Dont know what they think they are up to but I would definitely say its an "off ebay scam" which you wont have any comeback on whatsoever. [Frown]

Anyway I thought the one with the Caps lock key on it's side and with the extra F13 & 14 keys were the last Ver 4 which Elmo decided to drop shortly after it launch as customers found it a bit too complicated to use. [Wink]

Guys I got the same email sent to me:
If you read it they state they have plenty of parts fo repair if the machine is damaged in shipping. They also say they will replace the unit with another if it gets lost and they give me the option to buy as many as I want fom them. Its ovious they know nothing about the unit they are talking about:

I meant to say that I have had that very same email at least twice before and virtually the same wording each time.
Try buying spares off them! thry wont even answer your emails. Probably would if you decided to part with your cash. [Mad]
