Classic Thinkpad!! IBM 355c (ca. 1993). For shipping cost!

#1 Post by dc_slim » Sat Feb 07, 2009 4:37 pm

While cleaning out the hall closet this afternoon, I discovered my IBM 355c Thinkpad. I thought I'd donated this to charity a long time ago. If anyone wants it, I'll be glad to send it to you for the cost of shipping. It's in good shape, with very little wear on the case and keyboard. I used it the whole time I was in graduate school in the mid-'90s, but you wouldn't know it. The thinkpads of this vintage are so solidly built, it looks like it could take another ten years' of heavy use, easily.

Here are the specs:

12mb RAM (I maxed it out, as best I recall)
Windows 95
260mb hard drive
8.4" TFT color display (huge!!!)
3.5" floppy
33mhz processor
modem (no clue as to speed, but it's slow . . . maybe 2400?)
battery is long gone, but the system works fine on AC power
AC adapter included, of course

Questions? Let me know. I could even take some pics if you're really interested. Surely one of the Thinkpad collectors on the forum will want to grab this baby, right? ;)

Can you spot pictures?
I will ask my friend in Chicago to pay and he'll ship that laptop to me.
What price you expect? :)

Ah, if it were only a 365e, I'd get it just ad a piece of ThinkPad history since apparently that's the model of ThinkPad that accused spy Robert Phillip Hanssen used! :D
