KE7FEG spoke forth with the blessed manuscript:
> Jim, my 34 year friend, has terminal lung cancer. He
> is fixated on getting a laptop w/ at least 1 GHZ and
> XP so he can play 'tiger woods golf' in bed. Plus surf
> the net and read email.
> 
> Forget linux, I cannot get him into it.
> 
> Anyone have a 'loaner' for that period? About 2
> months, maybe less. Could pay some 'rent' if need be.
> Tiger woods golf requires 256mb ram and at least an
> 850 if he remembers right. Plus some disk space. You
> get the game for free! And any games he has left that
> you are interested in. I am not a M$ man nor much of a gamer.
