[EdLUG] Old laptops

[Edinburgh Linux Users Group]

OK sounds good to me as there's a very good chance I'll see you both at 
the next meet-up.
  Tai's got the Toshiba and Jan's got the Dell.

RE: the CMOS battery I'm assuming it'll be one of the standard sizes but 
from the sketchy info pulled up from Google I think the battery is 
located under the keyboard so replacing it will very much be an exercise 
for the new owner :)
