Know anything about computers?

My 2 cents worth,
Dell is the only way to go for laptops. I bought mine used a ''long'' time ago for $750 and saw it recently at the Boeing outlet store for $350. It had original Win 98 on it. Mine has been upgraded to XP Pro, PhotoShopcs2 and is fine for traveling. Look on WWW.Costco.com on the refurb page too, they have the same warranty as new ones. Tom got a refurb and it is perfect.
As for selling an old computer. You probably won't be able to get much at all. Selling it to a friend or family member means fixing it for them every time something goes wrong. Been there done that. Giving it to them sort of takes you off the hook ! Check out E Bay for sales completed for a computer jsut like yours, same specs ect... That will tell you good starting point for a price.
Again, just my 2 cents worth.

My dad is going to buy it from me. I don't expect more than a couple hundred, but he told me to look into it. And seeing I go to him to fix MY computer problems, I won't have to worry about that other problem hehe.
