At work i've been going through our old server rooms, and finding some amazingly old hardware, we're talking computer from 20+ years ago. The one thing that caught my eye the most would be an old Compaq1 luggable(laptop nowadays for you youngsters). Wow, what am amazing piece of machinery, 128KB of RAM, DUAL 5.25" floppy's for storage, 9" monochrome screen, all weighing in around 28 lbs!!!
in any case...i have no use for this (too big for a paperweight) and I have enough junk at my house. Isn't there some sort of historic society that takes these things and keeps a little history on our computer. It was made in november of 1982, with its configured price of $3600. And i read somewhere that it was the first IBM compatible machine, when compaq bought the hacked IBM BIOS so that they could run IBM software on their luggable.
