[Hampshire] Don't suppose...

[Owain Clarke]

Hello all.

I don't suppose anyone's selling a laptop?  It's to replace my son's
one which is 6 or 7 years old, so it doesn't need to be state of the
art.  I don't really have a clear idea of spec, just thought I'd find
out if anyone is selling something.

Thanks

Owain

That looks like quite a nice deal :)

I have an old Panasonic Toughbook CF-47. Bought it off eBay, used it for
work for a while, gave it to my son when he started Uni; he has now got a
netbook (and almost finished his PhD)  and given it back :)

192 MB RAM (gee whiz! )
Pentium III 448 MHz
 There is some moan at boot up about the BIOS being pre 1999 so it can't do
something :)
Disk 7.2 GB
Battery is shot, only runs from mains
currently running Ubuntu 7.04 (!!)
When I booted it up it said it had not done an fsck for 1209 days and
proceeded to check the disk and booted up just fine.

It may not be quite what you are after but if it's of any use to you or
anyone else I'd be happy to see it go free to a good home.

I have a small HP Laptop (unfortunately packed away in a cupboard at the 
moment), 1.6ghz 40gb hd 512mb but it has a faulty power connection, you 
have to wiggle the powerlead to get it to work. This fault usually 
requires a new power connector soldering on to the motherboard.
