Want to make a few bucks? (Or need parts? :devillook)

I am looking for a laptop to surf the web in class. (Atleast I'm honest. :dunno)

Essential functions: Battery for atleast an hour or two. Working screen, mouse, and keyboard. PCMCIA slot or integrated wireless. USB Port. Win2k or greater.

Let me know what you have and how much you want. No hurry.

I've got an old school Gateway 2000 P233, 96MB RAM ~4GB HDD, USB wireless thing that might work for ya. I think the battery was recently replaced before I picked it up off eBay because it always lasted around 1.5-2 hrs for me.

Does web surfing just fine. No CD drive, which I never found to be a problem with the USB ports and wireless. It only has Win98SE since I couldn't get Win2k to work with it. Would freeze after doing the initial install/find hardware thing so I just gave up and installed 98SE which works fine for what I used it for(just web browsing while traveling to search for jobs).

Everything works on it, and has no dead pixels(12" screen or so). Let me know if you're interested as it's just sitting around.

If you still lived down the street from me, I'd give you a six pack for it... but you don't. And it's not worth shipping.

BTW - don't buy a used laptop for $350 - that's an Fin' ripoff. I just got a brand new 1.4 Ghz Celeron-M Dell for $465 shipped after tax with two batteries(2-2.5 hrs battery life on each).
