I have a feeling you'd want something more valuable than an iPad 2 + bluetooth keyboardcase. ;) Perhaps not...are you looking to unload the iPad? I'd hook you up with a sweet system for that. Yeah, I'll part with the iPad. Don't have much use for it now save for as a musical instrument. I can include 2 keyboards, one docked and one Bluetooth. 2 cases as well, keyboard is built in to one of them. Wall charger and sync cable included. Hell, I still have the box... Hmmm. Ok. Let's take this off-list. (tomorrow...about to crash here) Yeah, okay. Tomorrow. Have any interest in a USB/eSATA SATA drive dock? Nope. Unfortunately, all that remains is the keyboard and processor. And 6G of laptop DDR3. It was a fairly broken laptop. I /might/ still have the display, too. That's, umm, not terribly useful. ;) What happened to it?? It had several issues. The power system was touchy...it would be fine for months, then it would sometimes endlessly turn itself on and off (for a better description I'd need to consult logs...it's been awhile), graphics would glitch, disc drive loved oftentimes not working, it couldn't boot from USB CDROM. It couldn't do hardware-assisted virt, the NIC might not have been GigE, short battery life. It wasn't very old either... Even more amusing? It was a product model that did not exist. The model did not appear on the manufacturer's website. So I scrapped it for useful parts. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
