Thanks to all who played along in this contest.

I was about to walk into Best Buy to get a WiFi Dongle for this laptop (internal board failed) when I got a notice from eBay this was about to end.

Started the day at $76.  With 5 minutes to go, it was at $250. At the end it jumped to into the $300s, then the mid $600s and one final update put it at $1,050. Quite the ending. I hope the seller was sitting down.

Congrats to Christian who tipped me off to the phone, placed the very first guess and won the contest, the forum contest trifecta. Not the first time that happened but I think the second, third at the most.

Way to go Christian. You seem to know soft plastic dark grey 554s well.

PS: This new Linksys AC600 dual band USB 300 MBps WiFi dongel works great. Thought I was having a hard disk access problem with pages loading slowly. Nope, it was a failing internal WiFi card. Pages now load instantly. Amazing how that works, upgrading junk.
