Very OT: looking to get a used laptop

[vze22jzr@verizon.net (Marc Getty)]

This is just too damn much. This past week I sold my Toshiba Satellite
4090 with a 400 MHz Pentium II with DVD, Windows 2000, v.90, 4 GB, and
64 MB for $350.00 USD.

At the minimum you should get a 400 MHz machine with DVD, anything
older is just plain obsolete.

  Here's one for the computer gurus on the list. Found a DELL Latitude
LM,=20
possibly from '97, Win ME, 33.6 FAX modem, 10x CDrom, 3253mb HD,
Pentium CPU=20
166mhz, 16mb RAM (144mb max.). The seller is asking $375, I'm sure
that can=20
be talked down. Question to the knowledgable, is this worth buying and

upgrading? Can the CPU and hard drive on laptops be easily upgraded?
How=20
about a DVD? RAM chips, modems and CDroms can be swapped without any
trouble.=20
Will remove the WinME for Win98 that came with my PC. I'm not looking
for a=20
supercomputer, just something I can use while TDY or traveling, but on
the=20
cheap.
  Please send all replies, opinions, suggestions and laughter
off-list.

TIA,
