hyruleknight	ok i have my gateway laptop that is busted to hell but can still be used by some here(hobo and steal in mind) 1100 Mhz P3 mobile edition, 265 RAM, overheating problems, loose screen(gotta press the 2 parts together as you open it for it to work), 2 USB ports, sound ports, monitor port, windows 2000, built in dail up modem, US adapter cord but can be switched out with a UK one the keyboard has issues but it is a hardware problem so with a mouse and keyboard(only one of those circle ports for it so you will need at least one of them to be USB) the CD drive tends to overheat but will work long enough to install apps from a CD and you could rig up a box fan to sit under it and cool it the battery is real old so don't even try to take it anywhere outside of your house i will reformat it if i can and put FireFox, GraphicsGale, Microsoft Office 2000, security tools, winrar, Adobe Reader, and trillian on it so anyone want this thing? i do want some small compensation for it to cover the shipping if i have to ship to the UK -=-=- i like green haired girls...

steve_ancell	@ hyruleknight... hyrule posted "also every coder's place is assumed to be full of crap and soda/beer bottles of their perfered brands"... You are not wrong there, you should see my place. Just as above but with radio conrolled model aircraft and various associated parts and electronics stuff thrown in too.

Jayenkai	My desk is full of crisp packets, and the occasional Pot Noodle.. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Yayyak	My desk has a pyramid of empty tea cups most days... Every weekend I take them all out to the kitchen, and they slowly form another pyramid over the week. My bedroom has more of those mentioned above (my preferred drink is Coke, and I now have a collection of old bottles on the bookshelf), as well as a collection of printers from the 1970's to 1990's. Maybe it's time to clean it out.

HoboBen	My desk isn't too bad - it's generally the fact that my room (which I share for a weekend every three weeks with my brother) is tiny, and has literally about a metre of empty bottles, paper, chocolate wrappers, clothes (both cleanish & dirty) and junk all over the floor. My desk just sorta floats on the top, looking pretty clean, but still overflowing with items, because it's only relaitivly cleaner. There is a space which is for opening the door a little, but you can't get through unless you're about as thin as paper. This is why I have no room! The rest of the house is only slightly better. -=-=- blog \| work \| code \| more code

steve_ancell	Sometimes, my desk is found with me asleep with my head embedded in the keyboard. Before anybody asks, no ! a keyboard is not very comfotable.

Jayenkai	Hmmm... Would "Cushion Soft" keyboards sell, d'you reckon? -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

tnt23	well there's keyboards with the squishy armrests, those are cool. -=-=- What if this were not a hypothetical question?

Yayyak	They can sell ones without any keys or without anything drawn on the keys, so I reckon you could. Somebody would buy it.

steve_ancell	@ Jayenkai... I would probably be the first customer. \|edit\| Actually, a keyboard that turns into a bed would be better. \|edit\|
