Hi all<br>
Cheap laptops,<br>
I will see whats in the cupboard as I used to go to the recycle site and<br>
get laptops and printers that people had dumped.<br>
<br>
I would take the printers aparts for the stepper motors small parts etc.<br>
<br>
You can often get a complate undamaged laptop, with an xp or win7<br>
licence plate for the price of a couple of beers.<br>
Reformat and install windows or your favourite flavour of linux.<br>
<br>
I thought of starting a little busines but find I am busy enough with<br>
web developement and writing php applications.<br>
Surprised there isn't someone doing this in Swansea.<br>
<br>
