Well, I got what I wanted for several hundred dollars less thanks to those of you who educated me about ebay's ibm store. However, when I got the email from ibm telling me how to pay, while I was able to go to the first link, the "continue checkout" link was some kind of javascript gotonext setup and of course i got unsupported url scheme! Didn't work with links-with-an-i either and couldn't find it in the code. Had to call to complete my transaction; at least ibm had included a phone number. Honestly, you can never relax in an Internet transaction until it's all done; you never know where the minefields may be! Anyway, thanks to all who helped; if I had the difference between the phone quote and what I actually payed, I'd send you all a commission. Well, it's the thought that counts, right--except my thought isn't going to give anybody a financial boost! Cheryl
