Nice collection, nice to see the early compaq's and a GriD. Someones blagged the 770 already i see.. and the 760

I "BLAGGED" 770ED Very fine machine, but huge and very heavy Will try to clean it up and restore/upgrade, just got it 2 days ago

As for 760, I have no idea

P.S. Just realized, we have same number of posts here, 46

Enjoy your "blaggage" there's a 760 on ebay uk going cheap with a chip to screen bezel but i don't know enough about 760's to know if that's easily fixable. Think i'll stick to slightly more modern machines.

Hows 770 doing?

Thanks!

Could you post a link please?

770 is fine, bunch of others incoming, so I will be busy for a long time to come...

Thinkpads are like wine: addictive and older the better

what do you do with all those? display or store? do they all work?

[Khipata]

Thanks for the link!

Yes, they all work except one of the Toshiba T1000 but I have 2 more in working condition. For now I am trying to clean/restore/upgrade/conserve them and at some point in future intend to display once I get my hands on 700T and W700DS. Only thinkpads I am not collecting now are ones after T61 (and no R and L series), but I could not resist and got three T500s and one W520, the best performance REAL thinkpad in my opinion so far

Think i'll stick to X series thinkpads, don't have the space otherwise.

Amazing!

Saw a Powerbook 5300 in that list.

I have one of them. It's an amazing little Mac OS 8.1 machine and works great. I mainly use it to mess around with and as a writing platform. Haven't used it in about a year because of life. I should bust it back out. Nothing used to be quite so soothing as coming home from work, firing up my little Mac and just free flow typing.
