SPN, can't stear you straight about buying cheap computers in Colombia. I do know this...you might as well marry the guy who knows how to "fix" those computers. If you're computer savvy, you'll do just fine. I'd check out the internet cafe's for their used stuff.

Good luck, and let us know when the wedding is...

Spend the money and buy one at one of the big box stores. Exito, Carrefour, LA14. Unless you have a local you can trust and is computer savvy, the independent shops will sell you a wonderful looking system, complete with a 386 chipset, 800 meg hard drive and a 1200 baud modem. Then when you question why the system seems slow? (with Windows 95, Pirate edition). They won't remember who you are.
That said, I have a wonderful laptop for sale! You don't need color, do you?
And Mickey, bite me. It is before 10, isn't it? Oh, wait. Never mind.

LOL...it's that bad down there? I am about as retarded as they come as far as computers go. That is why I was hoping to be steered in the right direction.

No wedding for this guy, but I'll let you know if anything pops up. The first step would be finding a girl. LOL
