600mhz, 192 mb ram , 3(!) Gb hard drive

Does anyone know anything about these laptops?
are they any good?
Its got a slightly damaged screen - but who gives a **** about that!

I got it for £96 - thats about $160 I guess
worth it?

You paid too much. You may have some problems running some software (especially centrafuse or dvd's). Here is what I got for $210:
Dell Latitude C610
-P3 1.2Ghz
-20GB HD
-DVD-ROM
-256MB RAM
-Windows XP Media Center 2005 with COA & CD
