Hi Ralph,

There's was the name I was trying to remember. Have recommended them to a 
friend who bought a desktop machine from them at a reasonable price and
is very happy.

Alternatively, find your local computer repairman and buy in one of the
machines that someone has upgraded from - a two year old Windows machine
will still run with Linux when it won't run with the latest Windows software
- more so if the seller was a game player who had to have the latest graphics
drivers

All the best,

Andy
