hey guys
im looking for an affordable laptop just to use for word processing and surfing the net. here in canada, the lowest priced dell and ibm laptops are $1700 and up. i just want something i can use to lie in bed and type essays and surf the net (im so lazy). i found a few refurbished ones for relatively cheap....

panasonic
P166
64mb RAM
4 GB HD
CD
12.1 TFT
$400

Compaq
PII 333
128mb RAM
6GB HD
CD 14.1 TFT
$650

i don't have the cash to spend a lot....
do you guys know any really cheap places where i can find a decent laptop for cheap?
oh, and how hard would it be to add an ethernet adaptor? all laptops have some sort of slot for expansion correct?

thx.
