Title: Thinkpad for sale
Post by: paigeoliver on March 15, 2004, 11:44:06 pm
I just replaced my old trusty thinkpad with a nearly new one, so my old one is for sale.

It is a 100 mhz, I can't recall the amount of ram, I think it is either 32 or 40 though, more than enough for windows 95 (which is what it has). It has sound, a modem, a network card.

IT has windows 95, internet explorer, and some emulation and game software installed. It is still a decent internet and word processing computer, and has been the single most reliable computer I have ever owned. I can't remember this thing EVER locking up on me.

It will come with a bag, the network and modem cards mentioned above, a serial gamepad I got for it that I never actually got around to actually installing, and a power cord. No battery.

Make an offer including shipping.

Oh, minor detail, screen has three dead pixels, they have been dead for nearly 6 years, and no others have died in that time.

Did you think about hacking it into the front-end for a jukebox?  Could be a nice small wall-mount.  Use the NIC to serve up the songs from a machine with a bigger harddrive?  Nice thin screen.  Might have to do a little surgery on the pivot to get the screen to fold all the way back (like a tablet PC) for mounting.
Just a thought. (If I could convince the Mrs, I would be making an offer just so I could do this).
