Used it just last week. Best part is it reloads Norton, so I have yet another 3 month "trial" subscription. Unfortunately my "backup" external hard drive is crap, but besides that it is good to go. (Anybody able to solve "Write Delay Failure" in XP with external firewire/2.0?! - I have all updates and tried everything)
If I did it again, I would probably choose a different laptop, and probably not HP, but it was good at the time, right price and specs, and the only thing in it that I want to change is the built-in graphics.
As for PCs, most people have more than they will ever use. (READ: most) If the $300 eMachines is in your price range, then you are probably going to get what you need. My grandparents/parents sure don't need a $1,000 screamer, or worse a top of the line $2K - $3K+ gaming machine to fire off the occassional email, balance the books, and read the occassional Saabnet post. Okay, so I made up the last part... :-) Also check out Dell's TV add. (Heck, $300, the OS is at least $100 just by itself)
Good luck, and don't worry, it will work out!!
