As Chaerophon pointed out above, and I agree, he is trying to sell you a laptop.
My advice would be to eBay it. In fact, my friend has a bunch of stuff up there right now, I don't know if he has a laptop though. I will check on that and edit.
If you haven't used eBay before, make sure you read EVERYTHING, especially small print and people that have reviewed him. A few months ago someone was selling a *picture* of his laptop starting at $600USD I think, and he had people bidding thinking it was the actual laptop. Plus if they have bad reviews that is a definite warning sign they are out to scam you.
Look for something with 512RAM, 1.2GHz proc should be plenty. I'm sure he would like wireless connection, and if it doesn't come with wireless, you can always purchase a PCMCIA card for cheap on www.newegg.com to give his lappy wireless capabilities. You can also find software (word processing) cheap online or through friends etc.
Good luck!
