eBay? I'm looking for one myself...mine died last Thursday. PC World do pretty cheap or reconditioned ones.

local papers would be good also, no need for postage and you can see it in action.
What software are you running that must have xp Bob?

No special software, just prefer XP and a few games that run on dos.
Will try local papers, good idea.

Gumtree also with checking out...

I got a cheap laptop from a guy on the AV forums used to use that also as i love my gaming and tech.. Will have a look on there and see if i see anything and pm over to you with spec and prices if you want.

there is usually a computer shop or two dealing in repairs and secondhand pc in most towns. they will have what you need.

Bob, If you are still looking, My Mother in-law has one that I used for my story, its not in use and I think it could be made available and is XP

 

[bobmac]

Herbie, where ave you been lurking?
How much do you want for the laptop and what spec is it?

Thanks Redwood, I have been burried in my book which is now finished in rough draft, just started the long process of proof read then editing and it feels harder than writing it still lots to do but thought I would pop back to see if life still existed here.

Bob I will get it back from a guy who has it at the moment and get the spec for you then if its of interest I am sure the mother in-law will let it go.
