 Yes, it certainly looks like that. Maybe he got a nice offer for the whole 
lot. Or else you could try to mail him directly, but I think you're out of luck.

 When I went to the check-out option, I saw a message that there are still 35 
laptops left, so somebody else (from rescue?) got one too probably. However in 
the last two weeks precisionbooks are showing up fairly frequently (about 2 per 
week) but they are almost immediately bought with BIN.

 I'm not too worried about the batteries, I have two good battery packs 
including one external from my Thinkpad N40. And I can always replace the 
cells. Btw, does anyone know if there are any wireless 802.11b cards that are 
supported under HP-UX 11.0? There were people from Symbol technologies at work 
today claiming their cards had drivers for ALL operating systems, I think I'm 
going to call them back tomorrow about AIX 3.2.5 and HP-UX 11.0 drivers :).
