"See, we're adding a little something to this month's sales contest. As you all know, first prize is a Cadillac Eldorado. Anyone wanna see second prize? Second prize is a set of steak knives. Third prize is you're fired."
I have my PC along with 4 other ePCs on my computer table alone. None have ever crashed on me. For office jobs and internet browsing, they handle the job pretty well...
My Dad bought an IBM laptop back in 1991. He actually still has it LOL (doesn't use it though). It's a 286 with 2MB of ram (he had to pay $700 more for the upgrade from 1mb to 2mb of ram). The screen is blue and white. The battery back is seriously about 12" x 4" x 4" and weighs about 25lbs... the thing is rediculous.
I have one of the first "laptops" in my attic. I'm talking the ones you have to assemble to use. The bag weighs like 30 lbs with all of the crap in it.
I had a 486 IBM Thinkpad that ran Windows 3.1 and had a sweet Wheel of Fortune game. I dropped it off my desk, my friends fault, and it doesn't boot anymore.
I still post occasionally from my old laptop, a Toshiba 120mhz, 32mb of ram, 1gig hard drive. I have Win 98 and IE on it and literally nothing else. It has a wireless card in it so I can use it in my room. Hilarious to think about, fast as hell cable connection, 120mhz processor. 8)
ken you would be surpised with what you can do with an old 'puter and a stripped version of UNIX. We configured an old 486 we found as the DHCP server for the high school I went to. Then used the computer they sent us for that purpose as a game server for playing games in school. :twisted:
