excited just bought a NEW (old) thinkpad

I just bought a thinkpad 600e on ebay, Pentium II 400mhz 128mb 5.1hd and 24xcd it comes with the charger and battery too, the winning on ebay was 54 bucks and with shipping 71 bucks, not a bad deal. I had a 600x with a pentium 3 but I traded that a few months ago for a 1989 Honda Accord LXi which I already sold. I must say though I love the reliability and build quality of these mexican built thinkpads, I like having a laptop built by our brothers too bad lenovo doesn't do that no more.

 

you traded a laptop for a car?

 

Yeah, well long story short the car was nice, but I live in cali and the registered owner was in oregon and it was a huge dmv mess so I sold it, its still being driven around my town

 

I hope you won't try to install Windows XP.

 

why try xp when you can try vista on a PII?

 

lol, when I traded the 600x to my friend he deleted the 98 I had installed and put xp on it, sad as I like windows 98 especially on slow hardware, I want to try vista on a 486 now that would be cool, those old amd 486 133 chips could be overclocked by switching to a 40mhz bus, then you got 160mhz 486, technically the board I had could go to a 50mhz bus with a 4x multiplier leaving room for a 200mhz 486 if they ever made one

 

I drove an 1989 Accord LXI for a while. It was a really good car. My family had an 87 Accord DX before that, a 1991 Accord LX after, a 1998 Accord LX next, and now I drive a 1999 Accord Coupe EX-V6. The only non-Accord cars we've bought are a 1999 Lexus RX300 and my sister's new bright-yellow Nissan Sentra.

Anyway, Accords, used Thinkpads...great minds think alike!

 

lol,yeah i got a 1990 now, but iam going to sell it so I can buy a new laptop, but generallly they are great cars.

 

so the computer came in yesterday, runs good but iam pissed about the power supply connector, its very loose and moving the laptop to another spot will sometimes shut it off but otherwises it runs like a top
