Well, I just won a Compaq Presario 700 off of ebay for my mom. Looking forward to it getting here, it'll replace my old Armada 1750 on trips!
I'll let everyone know how it goes.

How Much?
Those are a nice basic notebook
I evaluated them for a client, downsides was short battery life and didn't like the fixed/permanatly installed drives (good for not "losing" parts but we needed a second battry for longer plane trips) ended up with dells instead.
Be sure a check it over carefully, used laptops sometimes have had a rough former life.

Sorry for not posting back, I actually
forgot I had posted this. Yes. Forgot.
Anyway, it was around $125 with shipping. It isn't in the 100% best physical condition, but that's fixable, I know how to use Bondo and superglue and spraypaint.
I should be picking it up from the PO tomorrow, I'll post piccies tomorrow night hopefully.
