[dba-Tech] Is this laptop any good?

No haggling at Fry's.  Pick it up. Pay for it.  End of discussion.

I don't know about displays.  Do you know what XGA TFT is and as opposed to
what?

Also, I don't know why, but I've got a bias against COMPAQ.  I know they
make good stuff.  Seems they always do something to tweak their hardware so
you have to buy parts from them.  Or something.
