I have a Sony T60 which has been my pride and joy.
It has two 120 gig drives (225 hour) and an upgraded fan (Thermo-something)
It also has a cachecard with a 512MB stick in it.
It is at 2.52 and has been working perfectly.

Now for the bad news for me. I was just informed that my locals that will be on 72.5 bird will not work with this unit. :(

I am debating selling this unit and buying a modifiable Series 2 from the list below, or trading. I have alot of funds tied up in this unit and my first choice would be to keep it. Can anyone give me some advice?

Thanks

I have decided to put this unit up for sale. :(
My locals are now here and I have verified that this unit will not get locals off of the 72.5 bird.
This unit work perfectly and I will stand by that. I am Ebay verified.
Again, if this unit would pick up my locals I would never part with it.

I will list on this board first and consider reasonable offers. If noone is interested I will take it to Ebay. First choice goes to the membership here as they collectively helped me get it fine tuned.
Please PM with any offers or questions.
