My husband, who really doesn't know much at all about computers, recently bought a computer with ME on it off ebay. I believe between the cost and the shipping he paid about $30 total, so it was a great deal. And he considers it a toy in many ways. He isn't very happy with it, and he would much prefer it had XP on it. Its a fairly nice computer in the sense that it is clean and looks brand-new, inside and out. But he does complain about it crashing quite often. It came with a very low RAM (can't remember just what) but I took out 2 250 RAM boards from an old computer that isn't working right and put them in and it has speeded it up alot. Very little software is compatible with it though, even some of the old stuff we have sitting around in drawers. We are probably going to upgrade it to XP at some point, but for now he is using it as is.
