Sorry people. I should have stated that I'm after something really cheap, hence why I don't expect much power or features out of it. So I'd like a used laptop of say 300MHz or better with 64MB or better and wired networking.
I don't like eBay, as I've had too many bad experiences with them and as a result haven't traded on there for over a year now. Thanks anyway. I'll check out MicroMart and see what that turns up.
