    This is a great laptop for the money. It blows my P-6831 FX out of the water! Well, that's how it goes with technology. Six months ago, the 6831 was tops, now it's an afterthought! Still, I'm happy with mine and won't get another laptop for a couple of years.

    Nor is it available in North Florida. I think if we have central and west Florida check in, we'll have covered the whole state. :p

    I'm here in Central Florida and not available as well. I checked some other area codes in CA and NJ where I have lived and it still shows unavailable. Looks like mikel2290 got lucky. Expecting pics and stuff later.
