Why 14" in particular? A 14" screen from yesteryear may not be the same size as a 14" screen from today.

Hi DCM, following on from GJs recommendation, I put someone onto this,

http://www.bigpockets.co.uk/product.php?title=IBM-Thinkpad-T61-Used-Laptop--Core-2-Duo-1.8Ghz-2Gb-160Gb-CD-RW/DVD-ROM-WiFi--Vista-Business&product=SOLV811

It came with 64bit Vistas Business, £15 for another 2GB ram, bomb proof, metal chassis etc. :beer:
