    I think even if he gets £20, it is better than nothing, it is windows 98 SE, and in very good condition complete with speakers and scanner & loads of educational software which I have not used. To be honest, I prefer it than my new dell who feels like a box of tin. My old tiny seems to be more sturdy, my new dell keyboard's letters are nearly faded, & it's only 1 yr old. I think, I will take it as it is to the hospice shop and I do not mind giving a tenner to the computer shop and watch him doing it for me, I will ask him to use dban sourceforge net. Since I am a newbie, I better leave it as I do not want to mess my computer, and I will be lost with one. Thanks for all your help.
