I'm trying to recall the name of the company near the 18th and Spring Garden area that fixes and sells used laptops and PCs at very cheap prices. I need a used laptop on which to refamiliarize myself with Excel 2000 for a new job.

(I have been using Excel 2007 on my PC for several months now, but the job still uses Excel 2000!!!)

The company is on a little street near 18th and Spring Garden and has a website with a listing of available laptops and PCs for sale.

Do you know the name of this company? Thanks!

Sorry I have forgotten the name but I went there a few years ago. I believe it is closer to 15th street but I am sure it is on Brandywine.

I'm guessing you mean Non-Profit Technology Resources:

But maybe not, as I don't know that they sell them.

yes, they do sell things, limited hours though, so best to call!

I'm sure that's what the poster was asking for. They are on Brandywine between 15th and 16th. They do have a retail shop there. Their rebuilt computers come with a long warranty too! When I was last there, they had a team working to put Ubuntu on old laptops.

Good people doing good work.

NTR on Brandywine!! That's it! Thanks, folks!

yeah it's NTR (1500 block of Brandywine next to the School of RAWK)...but I didn't know they sold 'puters, too. I was talking to one of the girls that works there a couple months ago and she handed me a flyer, which I don't have anymore, and said they have a class where you can bring your computer and they will teach you how to fix your own shite (whatever's wrong with it) for, like 25 bucks.

how well do you need to know it? 2007 isn't all that different from 2003 except for the layout of the tools (ribbons). It really hasn't added that many new features to worry about. However there was a significant jump in capabilities from office 2K to office 2003. I have both 2003 and 2007 versions.

I'm pretty good with it but not *CPA good*...if you just have simple Q's about it, PM me and I will help you.
