I'll have the shitty old Acer for a few quid, it's probably better than my shitty old Tosh soapy tit wank This is the one I fancied before I allocated the dosh to something else http://tinyurl.com/yklnoug Laptops Direct also do refurbs etc Title: Re: New laptop Post by: Barry Scott on Friday, April 2, 2010, 18:34:10 It's gone out of use because it doesn't have wireless and the PCMCIA wireless card it uses doesn't support WPA! It's 15.1", CDRW, 256DDR, 40GB 1.8 Celeron and a moody copy of 'dows XP. It was my little sisters and she should have been employed by an anti-virus company to test viruses and spyware.

Here's what I'd do Barry. Upgrade the wireless card to one that supports WPA( I have a Linksys one hanging about if you fancy it, you pay postage) Upgrade the ram to 1gb and then have some fun sticking this on it http://www.ubuntu.com/ If it's a dvd rom/cdrw you could even try this http://ultimateedition.info/ Both are free and relatively hard to get virus's on, then she could have it back One more thing if you can get it online via ethernet this will tell you the correct memeory to get and a price(write down the details and then hunt on fleabay) http://tinyurl.com/y97od2f |
