    You know how dumb that is. He has 98 on a 486 40MHz with 20MB RAM.....Why doesnt he just use WIndows 95?!

    Qoute

    "NETWORKED NOTEBOOKS
    If you have 2 [or more] laptops, they can be Networked to share files, printer and one Internet Connection as long as one laptop runs WIN98SE. See Networking Notebooks"

    Ever hear of a proxy server that run on NT4 or 95?
  • QQ
    Yea, he hasn't heard of XP yet.

    He site still takes about IE 5 as if it was new, and compatibility with IE 3!

    The 2nd one is a long scrolling site of...bightly colored GIFs.

  • IBMWarpsterIBMWarpster
    I'd remake the battery if it lasts an hour. I may try that on mine if I can locate some cells and figure out how to open the battery pack
  • MentalMadnessMentalMadness
    Very nice DuffDude! How did you get this laptop? just ask some guy or browse ebay? And what are you going to do with it? MP3? Word processing? What OS are you going to use?

    Dammit! I want a free old laptop too!! :roll:

    some guys have all the luck...
  • Mr. CleanMr. Clean
    that's a great proceesor, if it were 1996
  • IBMWarpsterIBMWarpster
    Mines a Pentium 90MHz. With 48MB RAM its a shame that thing only came with Windows 3.11 or OS\2 Warp v3.0. Dont get me wrong...OS\2 v3 is GREAT, but Windows 3.11 on a 90MHz is a waste.
  • IBMWarpsterIBMWarpster
    uummm......

    does anyone know how to OPEN an IBM battery pack. I figured out how to open the case which I unsnap the keyboard, but the battery is tricky. I tripped a corner off the label and its just more plastic I think.

    I still have that box full of old laptops. I got two of them working, I got them using a homemade rechargeable batterys lol. Right now I have a 900MHz Duron, 512MB ram, CD-RW/DVD, 80GB hard drive, SiS video and a AC97 codec sound.

    The one I have at work is a crapy Pentium 4 at 2GHz with 512MB ram, 160GB HD, ATI Rage XL 8MB video, AC97 codec sound.

    Why in the heck are they making servers and workstations that are made for linux come with a 4 yearold video graphics? ATI Rage XL with 8MB? come on now, put in atleast a ATI that has more then 8MB vram and can handle opengl or direct3d better.

    dont call that crappy, its better than what i have

    i got an ast acentia 5260X, same one as jim, but i got only 64mb memory and winnt 4 on it, mine needs a new keyboard too, some keys are dead.

    hmm, why do laptops have to cost so much? bummer.
