This often works out VERY expensive. I think Radio Rentals are
reasonable but they want a minimum loan period of 1 year.
I received a mailshot from Skylake Rentals (01703 667882) last week.
They want UKP 390 for 6 months rental of a Compaq 486DX2/66 8MB
or ........waitfor it.......UKP 1690 for a P120 16MB with CDROM!
AND you have to pay UKP 156 for a 15" monitor, UKP 52 for 6 months
use of Windows and UKP 208 for any one component of Office!
A Deskjet 500C is UKP 260!
So all things considered, if Skylake are typical, it is cheaper to
buy, even for 6 months.
