cheap old laptop



My ancient windows laptop seems to have finally given up the ghost.
This leaves me with only one working computer, with only LINUX
installed.  

I hate the idea of having to actually use Windows, but I really do
need something that will test my website on IE, and when I had to set
up the dialup connection when my DSL went down last spring, being able
to use google on the Windows laptop was what made it possible to find
the magic words for LINUX.  And of course, if something happened to
this computer, I'd need to be able to read email.  I might be able to
figure out how to do that on the Zaurus with no connection to a real
computer, but I wouldn't want to bet too much money on that.

So where would you go to get a cheap or free laptop computer with some
version of Windows installed?
