Well, how much it's worth is tough to say. I'd personally wouldn't buy it at any price, but if you look here at ebay you'll see more powerful ThinkPads for comparable prices. Most of these don't ship overseas, but some do and if you know anybody in the States you can have them receive it and ship it off to you.

If you want to check used laptops, the ���� building and Space Nine (fifth or sixth floor, can't rember which) both sell refurbs for reasonable prices.

If you are going to be showing VCDs and PP presentations, I would recommend that you look into having at least a Pentium 4 coprocessor, SVGA graphics, and 256mb of RAM. This will allow the video and graphics render a lot more smoothly.
