Problem is that the above does not really compete. We are just about to buy
AMD 2.4G with 512 Mb and card readers instead of the CD for £325 ex VAT from
a trusted company, should be able to run most things on that. Granted we
only buy win95 but with the MS schools agreement that's all we need. (which
I suppose is why the OFT are investigating)
