I have a friend who's computer broke. They are looking for a new one and asked me to help. All they use it for is typing(word) and internet(56k). What is the cheapest i could get a computer to do those 2 things?

Go to pricewatch.com You should find pretty cheap computers on that site. how much are they looking to spend. They don't even need the fast processor. Their work can be done with P2 350Mhz. In GA, I have seen an used IBM computer with mouse, keyboard which is P2 350Mhz for only $99.00 It is used and that does not include the monitor. You should be able to find some used computers for $300.00 or less. Hope this helps.

Damn, any PC will do that...it depends on what they wanna spend. You could pick up a 233MMX system for $100 that will handle those duties.

Don't buy a used computer out of the
newspaper their usually junk, stick
with P-II 400 Mhz or higher.
Buy a new harddrive for the least
problems. Use Windows ME (can be downloaded from kazaa). It is perfectly legal to have upto 15
"pirated" pieces of software on a home
non-business related computer.
This means "pirated" software is legal,
Long live p2p.
