My next ThinkPad??

#1 Post by A31 » Thu Feb 11, 2010 3:21 pm

Well, I am very tempted by this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/IBM-THINKPAD-MODE ... 1c0fffe1b7...

A little 240 with Win Me and 64MB RAM. Was thinking if it remains cheap... yes, you guessed it! :wink:
Always liked these little ThinkPad 240's but I don't like Windows Me :evil: If I got it, I think I may have to install Windows 95 (I have the installation CD for Win 95) as I do not like Windows Me. Did the 240 come with Windows Me?

I doubt I'll be able to get this exact 240, but there also some other cheap 240's around on eBay at the moment, reason being is auction ends tomorrow and I'm out tomorrow.

Past: IBM ThinkPad A31, R40

I like the 240s too, but can't live with an 800X600 screen. Nowadays even 1028X768 is painful.
"An atheist is just somebody who feels about Yahweh the way any decent Christian feels about Thor or Baal or the golden calf. As has been said before, we are all atheists about most of the gods that humanity has ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further."
