Yes, the feedback thing was what made me suspicious...

BTW, what is the point of leaving feedback if the user can hide it later?
;-) I thought such thing are not possible, certainly they aren;t on
Polish auction sites.

Ah, now I see why it is so cheap :-)

They seem to have a CD drive for 770 for $20::

so maybe no big problem.

I thought rather of Win98, she needs to use some DOS software on it.

Does the 770 use standard 144-pin SODIMMs? If so, I would put there a
64MB module from my Compaq Armada 7400, and use its 32MB instead (192MB or
160MB won't make me big difference, and my aunt would be happy with 64MB).

Michau.
