Computers

[oldbuddy]

I use a Gateway laptop, can't say I love it but it does the job. I purchased it used from a gal that did not want to spend the money for a new battery, and that was all that it needed. A family member had the same basic computer and they allowed me to borrow the battery to test the used machine and indeed that is all that was 'wrong' with it. Paid $60 for the thing, not bad for a machine that retailed for over $700 two years ago.

If you want the best out there, you cannot top a Mac, but then there are software issues if you are using a PC now...

Sam's and Costco can get you a good price, but the items might be less than the newest available. that may or may not be a concern for you.

I'd say you got a SWEET deal. I bought a used Dell for parts only on Ebay for $21 that had no hard drive or CD/DVD, but I used a USB memory stick to load Linux on it and it works fine for surfing the Internet or doing my Fusipncash. The best part is I never worry about virus or spyware now.
