The 'Northern' NFAC region did look at this issue last year - we can provide
more detailed feedback if it would be helpful.
In our experience, renting relatively low cost equipment such as the word
processor you mentioned often proves to be atleast as expensive as outright
purchase.
There are some 'good' deals around for equipment leasing over a longer
period (3 to 5 years), but this would clearly be inappropriate in this
instance. We have used Hamilton Rentals (details provided by an earlier
responder).
