I have an older Compaq that has been living way beyond it's means. The poor things has an external monitor, keyboard, mouse, cd-rom drive, NIC and a frayed power cord. It's screaming to die, it's the equivalent to an old lady who has broken her hip, leg, knee surgury, brain tumor and blind. She just needs to be let go. My modern medicine has kept this thing alive for too long.
So here is it's replacement:
No, it's not the fastest or the best but for $300.00 it is. Going from a 500 Mhz to 1.2 Gig is great. I only had a 5 gig HD in the Compaq this is 20. No wireless have ever touched the Compaq, this is built-in. 128 RAM old, 512 new.So yeah I'm pretty happy with it even though I have not played with it yet. The situation was kinda funny. I saw the ad on Craigslist and thought WTF let's see if he still has it. I wrote an email that said only "Do you still have the laptop?" He replied yes and that he lived about 45 mins from downtown. Later on during the day he wrote back from another e-mail address:
"I just looked at your email address and noticed you work here hehe :) You emailed me about my laptop on sale on Craigslist. I actually have the laptop here if you want to come look at it. "

He worked a few floors above me. I thought it was pretty funny and it has to be a sign to buy the laptop. I had been lookin for sometime now and have not been too impressed with anything. I wanted something smaller and lightweight and I found it.
Happy C400 D@y!
