    I guess I just don't get why someone would pay for that when they can get it for free. Google is your friend!

    In my defense I purchaed a CF-28 and needed drivers, I couldnt find the complete manuals user options or service. I registered at panasonic and found the ca site and the japan site and the ftp. needless to say yes google is your friend but downloading everything and getting togeather after 3 days i found the current drivers and manuals. whil looking for other things I found a drivers cd on ebay for 24.95 then I found some for 10.00 and 15.00 that is just stupid. so i got the drivers togeather and listed them on ebay for 5.00 by the time i purchased the dvd cases shrink wrap and labels and the shipping 1.92 i couldnt do them for 5.00 so i had to go up to 6.50 now everyone else on ebay is 6.50 or lower. if they need help i help if they just need one driver or a manual i give it to them. no charge and i do help if they have anyproblems. Sorry just saw the link to my ebay auction and figured a defense was needed. do the math I am not doing it for a profit. just trying to help.

    Over the last three years thanks to the contributors here, this forum has grown to be the best place to find unofficial Toughbook support information

    The forum members here that contribute give out infomation for free

    Just about anything needed for drivers or manuals can be found in this thread gsi5150

    http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=356620

    This thread links to websites that have info and drivers for free
    No need to go to any paysites,no need to buy driver disks on ebay

    I understand that now after 3 days looking and downloading. But what about the other people, That havent found your site yet or give up after the first day.

    It took me three days. of sorting to get everything to work correctly then i found your site and liked it and signed up then I noticed the driver disk's on ebay for 10 15 and 25 dollars each that is just rude.

    So i listed them for 6.50. I would also like to include links to your site so they can get support and find other information about there ToughBooks. In all honestly if it was as easy as finding your site with google being your friend I wouldnt have sold 56 of them in the last two weeks.

    I am not trying to make a living on this just provide good information and the drivers they need and to cover the material and bandwidth cost. some of the driver cds for the CF-18 and CF-19 are 2GB just the upgrade to vista and downgrade to xp or 1.3GB plus the drivers. and the manuals are between 40 to 600 MB rar'd togeather.

    Even your site doesnt have half of them like I said I give the manuals or a few drivers or give them the links if they msg about it. it even says in the lsiting if you need the manuals msg me for them. I dont want to sell them on ebay but people were being taken advantage of you probably think i am to but, I just want to educate people and would like to include links to your site.

    If I take my listings down the other people will jack up there prices again. I left them off when they expired. and the other people went up on there price.
