If you want to talk to Turners about these, don't use the name &
number (Tony Russell) on the website, call 0274 964 171 for David
Anderson instead.

All ex-lease machines, the laptops at least have Windows licenses but
no actual software. Expectation is <$350 each, depending on spec
(mostly 512M, a few 1024M)
