Dear Lazyweb...

Lovely colleague Tracie needs to get herself all wired up for work based purposes.

She's looking for a laptop which she can use for:
- Occasional internet access
- Downloading and editing films from a camcorder
- Music download

She's got up to £350 to spend, but would prefer something fairly cheap and says "a nice colour and design would be good" because she's a bit arty like that. :)

She's also looking for a cheap internet connection for very occasional use and is considering BT Broadband Option 1. Can someone talk sense into her?

(Oh, and she's also asked if there are any nice guys who wouldn't mind taking her out at the weekends too. Anyone like tall blondes?)

She's going to kill me for that. :D

Stay the hell away from BT - BT Internet are totally legally separate from the people who provide the most of the guts of the internet service, so the argument that sometimes gets bought up, of "it's all BT so if it goes wrong they can fix it quicker" is complete bollocks.

If she's got an O2 mobile then there's a cheap deal that O2 broadband do (and is actually provided by "Be" who are good)
