well, one of the forum guru's, who has been a good supporter for years, wants this museum quality thinkpad 701C..
so he will get it..
i'm not sure why it was under a ton of dust on a bottom shelf, but thats the way things are around here..
it was not with the 6 or 7 other 701C's i have..
as for the interesting trade question..
a DEC VAX 11/780 or a teletype KSR..
or a garmin nuvi 660..

Can a Toshiba T1200, Mitsubishi MP-286L or Bondwell B310 be classified under your definition of interesting? How about a boxed copy of DOS 3.0? IBM bundled Windows 1.1 disks?

I have an interesting computational system, used for almost half-a-century but still in great shape. Sometimes it doesn't conform to basic boolean logic (yes/no, true/false) but is mostly reliable in making a good decision, given you spend enough time fooling around with it. Usually though, it has a mind of its own and no matter how much proven data you feed it, it can often return what seems to be in irrational result.
It's called a "wife"
.
P.S. I can say this since she's helping our oldest daugther in L.A. move to her new apartment.
P.P.S. Sorry to waste the bandwidth, but I couldn't resist....

Mr Bill Morrow, why don\'t you find out about this missing 701C earlier??? I am looking for one 701C to add into my thinkpad collection. Now i have got my uncle\'s 701C which has a dead motherboard... (Boo Boo Boo!!!)
Can trade my photos with your 701C... <Just joking>

i have other 701C's but none as good as the one that is now gone..
not sure why it was there but it was and, well..
there you go..!
a good interesting trade would be an S30 or, better, an S31..
cash and a 701C..

Now that would cost a little bit more to ship than a 701C!
An 11/750 would be just half the size though ...
