Do you want to share your current i/net connection ?

Or have a separate modem and dial-up.

You should be able to find a good basic 2nd hand PC for office/browsing for under £100.

theres a bit more work if you want to share you i/net connection but RR can sort you out for that.

Try the following - half decent systems for £300:

Express PC

Website is not working at the mo - keeps asking for network password - but it was yesterday. Give it time then have a look.

Tiggs....

How about a P 233MMx, 64Mb RAM, 3 GB Hard Drive, 15" monitor, 2 USB ports, keyboard and mouse. Windows 98 + Office 97 and some utilities and kids games?

Price £100, plus you pay the postage, as I'm in Lancs....

Cool

Can't the kids just go and play in the garden - you know, climbing trees and stuff?
