I do like XP except for the file manager which will never remember I want details

hmmm, not seen that before...

The save as and open dialog - always defaults to sideways scrolly mode and not detail

thats down to how the app opens it...

Hotel21 - I guess I know what for.  The one I use is about the minimum spec I would recommend (PIII 650, 256Mb RAM, XP SP3,com port, decent battery life) for that use.  Its an old Dell CPJ iirc, complete with failing (for 8yrs!) HDD

Saying that, I have a couple of knackered CPi's that you may be able to get one decent one out of - yours if you want them.

I think MDTM has by other one I used for that role - a PIII 1G, 256Mb, and a battery that keeps bruising your foot

Correct....  

Any and all lumps of suitable plastic and expensive rare metals suitably appreciated....  

As for the battery - is that not what gaffer tape is for?

Yes, I use my Adv 6418 for OBD2 stuff. With the built in serial port it works well with my Elm327 reader. Shame its battery's a bit past it.

got some nice toshiba 4300's, for £85, all p3, 600+ mhz, 128 ram, if any one interested

Good machines considering the age...and a joy too work on (rebuilding).

Sold dozens of these over the last couple of years and always found XP ran fine.
