I have a couple of older laptops but I’m not sure if they are powerful enough for what you are looking for?

PII’s,32mb one is black and white the other color.

[3D-JOY]

Sorry David, never owned one myself.

[davidosborne]

they would be PERFECT !!

Remember please to be sure your harddrive is (thoroughly) wiped of all data before you part with it.

Canteen ping!

[Arrowhead1952]

I’ll see what I can do.

[padre35]

Great, should I reformat them before shipping or will you handle that on your end?

[padre35]

Nevermind, I just read your “wipe the hard drive” post..

[padre35]

A quick question, these are older laptops but they can run Internet Explorer 5.0 or so, are these going to be networked or access the internet via dial up modem or what have you?

I ask because I can preinstall the older versions of IE (via floppy) before I ship them.

[Marine_Uncle]

Stay safe if possible Dave. I would send you one if I had any. Never owned a laptop.

[davidosborne]

i recommend formatting your drive before mailing just to be safe... you never know where mail ends up..

[davidosborne]

they can still be used for literacy training if they cant be networked.. or internet.. i will make the best use of whatever i get..

Sure thing, work has been crazy busy at the moment so they won’t be in the mail until next Tuesday.

I am to mail them directly to Iraq correct?

[davidosborne]

yes.. please mail them directly to me and I will distribute them as needed..

Awesome!

I’m glad you did not photo the packing materials, they were strictly what was available!

[Marine_Uncle]

Nice to hear some folks can contribute laptops. I never owned one or would consider sending it if no longer in major use. Hope all is well in the sand pit with you and your unit.
