040603 - Fed Ex picked up the Sony computer, ref SDS 0 0873, and delivered a
040604 - network card. ref SDS 0 1650  Jarmon called and said we cannot get the
040605 - memory configuration requested for Omnibook, so changed specification
040606 - to more expensive system. ref SDS 0 2312

041004 -
041005 - Follow up ref SDS 6 2312.
041006 -
041007 - Jarmon advised HP Omnibook Notebook only has two memory slots, so they
041008 - have to sell two 128 MB memory modules to get to 256 MB, and in that
041009 - case we do not get credit of $109 for removing the existing 64 MB
041010 - memory that is already in the system.
041011 -
041012 - We could buy a 128 MB memory module and use 192 MB with the existing
041013 - 64 MB memory.  That would result in a credit of about $109, but since
041014 - we are using W2000 it increases the risk of problems that occur with
041015 - swap file operations.
041016 - ..
041017 - Decided to get HP Omnibook 4150 650 MHz system that has 18 GB
041018 - and starts with a 128 MB of RAM, so it can accept another 128 MB
041019 - memory module.
041020 -
041021 - This system already has w2000 installed, so we know it is compatible.

041035 - This will increase the price about $600, to $4,500, and add
041036 - three (3) pounds to the weight, blowing every criteria.  The larger
041037 - screen is a plus.
041038 -
041039 - Jarmon said the unit will ship today, and we will get it tomorrow.
