Laptops looking for good homes

beetigerI have two older laptops, looking for good homes.
One is circa 2003, hp Pavillion ze4500, Celeron 2.40 GHz, 704 MB RAM, 40 GB drive. Dirty but otherwise in decent shape.
(Tentatively claimed: The other is circa 2006, Lenovo 3000 C200, Intel Celeron 420 @1.60 Ghz, 1.49 GB RAM, 70 GB drive.
The hinges on this one are broken, which means that the screen needs to be propped up by something behind it when it is being used. I got an official quote to fix that at $100, but I don't know if someone handier than me could fix it themselves. Also, for some reason this keyboard was really sensitive to the oils on my hands, so a lot of the letters on the keys are worn off, so if you don't touch type it might not be the machine for you.)
Both are running Windows XP Home. I have one use of a three use Windows 7 upgrade pack which you could have for $40 (1/3 of what I paid for it, and about half of what you'd pay for a single one) if you'd like to upgrade one of these.
Both are available for pay-what-you-think-is-fair. Barter offers welcome. I mostly want them to be appreciated by someone who can use them.
Shipping is $15.00 to throw it into a large Priority Mail flatrate box to US addresses.

I have nothing to barter, as far as I know; would $50 plus postage strike you as reasonable?

Please PayPal $67.25 ($50 for machine, $15 for shipping, $2.25 if you want to be nice and cover the PayPal fees) to vickib AT gmail DOT com, and I'll clear out the personal files and send it on. If you prefer to send a check, send me a message and I will get the address to you.
