Aye up,

I dunno if this is in the right section, or not.

But, my dad has decided to get into the world of the T'internet and computermabobs.

He bought a laptop from the local carboot, that is trash(fake windows loaded, stuffed power supply, and no end of passwords locking it out).
So, I'm trying to find a cheap laptop for him to use for a while, to learn how to work things.

It doesn't have to anything special, it just has to work, and not be too slow.
If it has wireless enabled, that would be a bonus, but not essential, i can get a wireless card for it later.
Would prefer a windows xp version.

I'm really looking for under £100.

Has anyone got owt?

Cheers Frank.
