on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save 10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month 20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month 30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)
But if you still need a Windows 2000 disc, there is one here. Use ImgBurn to create the CD.
Thanks Donnie, I've been keeping an eye out for one of these disks for months.
I also agree with the comments re Linux.
Many of these older laptops (and desktops) seem to have a BIOS date (too old) which for some reason will not allow an install of Debian variants, certainly for the ordinary user.
Many, many thanks for all the help and replies - DD has returned the laptop and has decided to look for a more up to date one -fortunately no money had been involved so this has been notched up as a learning experience!
Thanks !
