These machines have mainly come from schools and businesses. As such there are various

brandings,

branding:

labels, markings, scratches, very occassional broken bits (e.g. front flaps) on the

cases. All machines have been generally cleaned and air dusted inside to get rid of most of

tr|e

the dust, however the cases have not been meticulously cleaned as this would take a long

time and increase the prices considerably. Any machines which have PC cards are usually

486 cards, but as these are basically worthless, their value has not been taken into account

(and they might not have all the software on the disc to work them anyway). Get free carriage
