I want t set up a surfing machine in my Kitchen (for FoodTV.com and such). As I don't have a large amount of space, a laptop would work great. I need to keep it cheap, as as it only for minor surfing, I don't need lots of umphf.

Any thoughts?
 
I have the iBook g3.. cost me about 400 to get: 800mhz/airport/30gig/640ram/combo.. and it's a really useful computer. You could get an iBook with some similar but simpler specs for around 250 or 300 on ebay that would browse the web just fine.

The 900mhz 14" iBook G3. You might not think you need 900mhz but you'll quickly grow frustrated by a slower iBook or any PowerBook G3 (flash, movies, music) etc...
