Laptop wanted
« on: August 02, 2012, 04:26:07 PM »
Anyone got an old laptop? I use all Apple Mac (it's a long story) but need to look at certain things on the web from a Windows PC. Don't need lots of ram or large hard drive, just for accessing the web. Not much money, but appearance is unimportant so a bit battered is OK if it works.

PM me.
I started out with nothing and I've still got most of it left.

Pete, we've got an old Toshiba that we hardly use now, kids use more than anything.
Only fault with it is the cable is a bit frayed, and battery life is non-existent. And could probably do with a factory re-set or something. How much you looking at spending, and when the boss gets home I'll see what she thinks.

If you can be arised to come to Boza tonight, I'd gladly lend you my lappy for two week.
I won't be using it. I trust you not to take it apart or copy all my private stuff.
Our_Lasses kids usually use it whilst house sitting for us, but they've got there own now.
