    This takes me to Public Sector - is that allowed? Surely, they won't honour this?

    Sometimes only one option is returned, but if two options are offered, use the MEDIUM & LARGE BUSINESS option. I think it doesn't make any difference anyway.

    i know this is slightly harsh, but the computer is 2.6ghz, 80gb and 256mb and thats it, the rest of it is quite poor. I know that these spec are good but the fact that it has no dvd, cd-rewriter and that you can get a new computer for £299 inc.del with a monitor makes this deal not the greatest.

    If you are looking for a reasonable computer this is excellent but for those looking for something a bit more advanced maybe it is not the best option.

    Anyone agree?

    The Agreement Number is needed only if purchasing 'Microsoft Select Software'. Does anyone know what this is?

    The only other awkward question on the first Checkout page is the purchaser's fax number.

    Has anyone been through the entire Checkout process, and know whether a private purchase is allowed?
