737791 2009-01-12 08:26:00 Right, now that you're in here :clap, I'm giving away my old laptop (now that I have an Eee - much more powerful. ;)). Here's the specs:

IBM Thinkpad 600
5GB hard drive
266MHz PII CPU
96MB RAM
CD reader
1 USB 1.1 port
Windows 98 (though I will supply it without an OS)
Comes with laptop bag and parallel floppy drive (if you can get it working)

If anyone would like it, please PM me. Pickup is in Papakura.

737792 2009-01-12 08:29:00 PM sent. If I could pick it up, I could probably put something on it Speedy Gonzales (78)
737793 2009-01-12 10:23:00 Out of curiosity, what are you going to do with it speedy? Blam (54)
737794 2009-01-12 10:25:00 Pass have to get it somehow first lol. If its still around

I could put linux or Win 2k on it. If it fits.

737796 2009-01-12 10:37:00 I've got a similar Toshiba laptop lying around in the workshop somewhere.
Didn't know people were still interested in something of those specs...

737797 2009-01-12 11:24:00 Well, I've never had a laptop, so if PCuser decides to give it (if I can get it), it may come in handy for something Speedy Gonzales (78)
737798 2009-01-12 19:44:00 I know a couple of underprivileged families that would *love* a laptop along those lines :) Chilling_Silence (9)
737799 2009-01-12 19:56:00 Well, I've never had a laptop, so if PCuser decides to give it (if I can get it), it may come in handy for something

737800 2009-01-12 20:02:00 could that thing really run windows 98?
computers r so much more advanced today that it seems like
that couldn't do anything i had a PC simular to the laptop but it had 6GB HDD
and i think it was a little better and it had trouble running windows 98 would it be that the PC was too grumpy and sad looking that it didn't have the will to run windows 98 or is it just the parts?
