Hey everyone.
Just dropped off a couple of old PCs at a local electronics recycling event. How do you like these specs: A Panasonic Business Partner with a 20 MB hard drive and monochrome monitor (and 5.25" floppy!), and an IBM ThinkPad with an original Pentium processor in it and Windows 95 on it.
The Panasonic belonged to my sister, and she used it for WordPerfect and stuff like that. I even asked her if she would mind if I got rid of it, and she said she doesn't even remember owning it.
The laptop was just something I picked up used at a trade show. I tried upgrading it with my Windows 98 CD ... it took a half hour to install, but then I realized ... I don't have the product key anymore! Well, that's enough of that ... time to just say goodbye to the thing.
Anybody else here still using some real old stuff or on the verge of getting rid of it?
