Hiya Pete :-)

Silly question perhaps but can I still buy a computer off you?  I will
hopefully be in the market for a nice, shiny, spanking new laptop.
I'm not really sure what I want at the moment but let's just say price
is not really a problem.  I'll qualify that by saying I'll hopefully
be looking for something up to around £800 possibly a bit more.  I'm
not too bothered about software but, if it comes with Windows it must
have a full install disc not one of these crappy hidden partition
recovery things.  Other software is irrelevant as my intention will be
to actually wipe the HDD and install Linux on it.  But, here's the
reason it must have a full Win install disc, it may be used by others
who are only aware of Windows and I don't have the time to even show
them the basics of Linux.  This would mean possibly dual install but
that's something I'll think about as and when.

Yes, this a 100% genuine enquiry I just don't know when I'll have the
money but, hopefully it will be either before or just after Xmas.

Take care mate.
