  <body>I just called up a local company for a price of renting a laptop for one week. One quote was $100 for one week.

When I checked KEH for cameras, my attention was diverted to used laptops they are selling.  Roughly it is $500 for a used one of varying qualities.


I need a laptop to run a slide show.  I have access to an LCD projector from a church where I am presenting my &quot;multimedia show&quot; in which I sing and show slides.

I have a laptop, but it is an ancient machine with Windows95.  My desktop is Windows98SE.  I can burn a CD using my desktop.  The LCD projector at the church will play the DVD/CD since it was purchased for playing the DVD movies by the church.

I don't know anything about burning a DVD, but I can imagine going into a digital lab in town for an hour or longer to burn a DVD.  Would that be more cost effective?  

Any thoughts or experiences?   </body>
