[NTLK] Anyone up for a trade?

My boss has just given me a Dell Latitude CPx notebook computer. The
laptop is a 500 Mhz Pentium 3 with 64 Mb of RAM. It has the power
adapter, a 3Com ethernet/modem card, and the front loading battery
(don't think it holds a charge) and floppy drive.

The laptop boots up but when going into Windows but displays an
error. I'm guessing the HD might have some bad sectors. Here's the
issue, my boss didn't give me the CD drive for this and I don't think
he has it. I'm a Mac user so I have no idea how to repair this
computer. I don't have any Windows software or money to spend to fix
this. Best I could come up with was to try and boot the computer
using Damn Small Linux from a USB thumb drive but I need a floppy
boot disk and I have no way of making one.

Anyway, before I go and give this to the local Thrift Shop, is anyone
here interested in this laptop? It does have an IR port so it could
be useful to install packages and solve bootstrap problems. I'd love
to get an MP 2100 but I'm just dreaming. Maybe trade for a WiFi card,
memory card or something else. If you are interested, email me off list.

Thanks,
Tovi
