Checked kaanza from whom Richard bought and found these three:

 IBM - ThinkPad X31 - New MFG : 2672BU7OPY
 1.4GHZ 40GB 512MB 56K ENET WiFi XP Pro $1,110.71

 IBM - ThinkPad X30 - New MFG : 2672W14
 1.4GHz 60GB 256MB Enet Win XP Pro $1,134.12
 
 IBM - ThinKPad X30 - New MFG : 26724HM
 PIIIM 1.2GHz 512KB 256MB 40.0GB 12.1 XGA 1024x76... $1,127.84

If the x31 is the superior box (processor and graphics) I wonder why it's
cheaper than x30's which also have less memory.

How much is Bruce asking for his spare x31 and what's its spec?

I guess these systems are great for short trips but for my longer
traveling I'd be reluctant to use a system without an optical drive.
