    RIGHT? Because I'm the largest vendor in the area and I think the guys at Panasonic have heard through the grape vine that I do GOOD work :D

    Rob, i also sell laptops. Many laptops. Cheap old pentium 1 / 2 and 3 laptops, for the poor people. For 15$ they can buy a working laptop. I repair them with all my hearth in it. I cant earn enough money from it for a living, as i live on social security, but it keeps me busy.

    I dont sell any toughbooks.. the Toughbooks i keep for myselve... the other brands i sell... but not the toughbooks. i now have 10 of them.

    As i have read many topics and posts, Rob, i think you are a nice guy, who totally is in love with the Toughbooks...

    Ya know mister, those sellers who love the machines they sell and/or repair....

    are the best salesmen on this planet.

    Me and you are one of them !

    ps: What state / region are you based in the US or Canada ? I am from Europe/Netherlands.

    I am in Chicagoland region. Lombard to be exact.

    And yes, I do love what I do.

    If you love what you do, you'll never work another day of your life! :)
