Hmmm... that would certainly be easier and better for my purposes (what 
I really wanted in purchasing the Wallstreet was a laptop on which to 
practice running Linux). I will have to give that a try when I receive 
the new hard drive.

Of course! :-)

I paid US$80 for a 25 GB 5400 RPM drive from Wegener Media (I had to 
purchase a new battery, anyway -- now *batteries* are expensive!):

I can't find the exact item on the Web site right now, but they have a 
few other deals, so it might be worth the search.

Best wishes,
Clint
