No trouble. I just posted a note on the MSN, replying to a guy who needed help buying a first laptop. These are all public messages, and I saw others telling him to buy a "cheap" Compac for $3,995! I told him that the price/performance ratio of laptops stinks, the batteries can't make it cross country on a plane, etc. Then I said if all he going to do is write, he should consider a used DOS laptop or call the Club 100 BBS. Then I gave the number! I was the ONLY person responding who took this approach. All others were grinning about how great their $2,000-$3,000 laptop was!
