Hi Aidan. Personally I'd be very wary of buying really cheap hardware regardless of the OS (even before a friend of mine bought one of those nasty little 'Patriot' boxes). I posted a list of some of the places we get cheapo hardware from to the list a few weeks ago. With the exception of bottom-of-the-range Compaq's and top-of-the-range hard disks although we usually stick with branded boxes, I've got no qualms about buying 2nd hand. Last time I looked GMC (www.gmcuk.com) had some nice laptops with dodgy batteries going cheap. EuroPC (www.europc.co.uk) are also quite handy, but a bit more $$ HTH Colin _______________________________________________ Scottish mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish
