I have a couple of Toshiba Models - fairly old, but they only have CD drives on them. Depends on how old and how cheap you want it

I'll have to dig them out from my loft, but off the of of my head they both have an Ethernet port, I think they are Celeron 400mhz processers (like I said, old!) 128mb. One runs Windows 98, and the other runs Windows 2000. They may be too old, but I thought I'd offer them. Would be looking at £25 each, plus actual delivery cost if interested? I could use something like Parcelmonkey to keep postage costs down if you like, but not sure on whether their insurance cover laptops.

great offer but need them a little faster and really on XP as ill be transfering for an XP pc and they seem to have problems picking up win 98 pcs sometimes, do you have anything slightly faster

minimum really wont is around 1 ghz and 256 ram

not bothered with wireless adapter either as i have a wireless USB dongle spare to use

Thats all I have I'm afraid, although the Windows 2000 might be suitable, as XP is then based on that NT technology. Doesn't run too badly, but obviously I'm not going to talk you into it if you know what you need

On second thoughts, I have a Dell Latitude LS, but that is a PIII processor (would have to check the speed and RAM). is a 12" screen, but has docking station and cd drive which connects to that.
However, I would be looking at £70 plus delivery for that one

Lowest I will accept is £35, but you're paying postage on top. (which is going to be around £15 right? I don't send a lot of stuff so if you can point to a cheap postal service ...)

I'm not accepting any less than £35 as it's too much hassle / time.
