Need a cheap notebook (OT :)
Hey, sorry for the OT but I 've seen a few cheap notebooks flying around
on this list recently, so I thought I'd try.
I am super irritated. My Compaq LTE Lite 3/25e seems to have died just
sitting on a shelf for 4 months. Battery takes a charge but the machine
is totally inert. Very sad to see this 386 powerhouse with 20MB of ram
(!) and 300MB HD die ;)
So, I need some kind of cheap 486 notebook to replace it.. just the
basics, with either an internal modem or PCMCIA slots. At least 8mb of
ram, HD size unimportant as I have a 540MB IDE 2.5" to install. Would be
*nice* if it were linux capable. Color screen is nice, but not a
requirement.
Please contact me off-list if you have a candidate.
Thanks in advance,
Bill
