Bro i'm on the other side of the lake but really would like to help. these laptops should plentiful and real cheap. looking in my local paper i find 4 prices ranging from $60-$100 and that for the Dell Latitude. i dont know what ship from the US would cost but i bet in your area you should be able to find a few real cheap. as computers are getting cheaper these old dusty model are flooding the market really cheap or at least thats how it is here.
