The original drive was a 4GB, I'd happily take anything, but obviously a
4GB
for £40 (ish) would be ideal... where is this fair?.....

(the reason I'm being so cheap is that the laptop belongs to the company,
and they could ask fdor it back at any time. but theres an 80% chance that
they'll never remember where it is... :)))

Cheers.

Paul G.
