Computer woes

Nik knew that I was in the market for a very cheap PC laptop. I want one partly to learn more about Windows, partly to enable me to do more freelance work for our sister titles, and partly so that I can actually help my mum when she has problems with her own PC laptop.

Well anyway. Yesterday Nik came across this laptop online for only £380. It's perfect - I don't need anything powerful or even attractive, and I have a legal copy of Windows to put on it - but unfortunately even that bargain basement price is way out of my budget at the moment, what with a failed hard disk and some serious dental work to be done. Dammit.
