mine was rocking almost 1mb of ram per MHZ

144mb ram on one of those an they really freakin scoot for an old ass laptop! i had a tecra 730CDT running windows ME with opera and mirandaIM. would do pandora.com fine but not youtube all too well

also just fyi it probably has the older 16bit pcmcia cardslots so newer cardbus and 32bit pcmcia cards will NOT work, stuff like the netgear ma401 and other older wifi cards will tho!

I just got a good deal at a car boot sale - an N64 including power supply, 5 x N64 controllers (inc a SuperPad type one, 3 x PSone controllers, N64 game; all for Â£4 ( $8 ). I only wanted the game and SuperPad, would have paid Â£2 for that, so only Â£2 for the rest in real terms!!

I found my recent score online.

I scored a Dell Inspiron 2500 for free. I haven't done much with it, other than to verify that it turns on and boots up. It's running Windows 2000. Not entirely sure what I'll do with it, although the other day I thought it would have been handy to have a computer down at the workshop. Hmm.

Dang, I'm double posting again, but I'm kind of excited about this find. I found a video phone at the local Goodwill. $13 bucks, and there are RC inputs in the back, so I'm hopeful I can use it for something. On the other hand, it was pretty cool playing Mortal Kombat on a phone.

The cam is detachable, with a 9-pin serial connector. Hmmm... Anyway, I also found a Gameboy Color with a vibrating pack.

Got a dremel for $10 at a garage sale!

Triton, there will definitely be a portable coming from me in the future. I don't know how well the phone will work, though. Many games are kind of hard to read the text. On the other hand, my X-box screen arrived today.

Killgood- How many speeds? It's not cordless, is it?

I hate my sonic and the secret of the rings. As soon As I find it I want to sell it.
