I'll search around on the web and see if I can pull something up for you.

Todd- I know you are not a MAC fan, but for like 250-400 you can get a GREAT email/internet computer. Very Easy to use and great battery life

Dang, there's some snarkiness going in this thread. People need to relax.
That being said, if you're willing to spend a bit more you should check this out:

This is OOS online, but check and see if it's in-stock in a Circuit City near to you (there's some here in the Bay Area that do have it, per the website). You'll need to upgrade the RAM if you're planning to run Vista:

With technology changing, I wouldn't pick up a refurb laptop either. All the links above (BB, CC, Costco) are great laptops... availability is another issue.
I usually hit Techbargains and local Craigslist when I start shopping... and don't forget if you a have local CompUSA, they might be liquidating.
