Thanks in advance my `puter gurus

If you are looking to just surf, then a PII will be fine,.
Although you will probably get a good deal on ebay, a quick google may be worthwhile in order to look for refurbished/second hand laptops. A number of companies now sell them online at pretty low prices, and you normally get at least 3 months warranty included in the price. (which you rarely find with Ebay..)

A lot of newer laptops have a build in network card, otherwise a cheap pcmcia card will set you back 10-20 quid.
