@tom toshiba satellites might just be that!! idk how availability is for you there on them

this one i got for free as a birthday gift from a friend who knew im into old computers

@squirrel I've seen a couple floating around on local auction sites, yeah! I almost caved in once but the seller vanished

@tom awww

also make sure to get a tft model instead of tn model

tn panels are blurry as hell

the 420cdt (my model) has tft, it's much better

@squirrel one of the coolest old computer things I've stumbled upon so far (besides that osborne 1 which I'm still beating myself up over not getting) is this:

@squirrel the price tho? No.

@tom haha yeah nah its not worth that much, not in that state

@squirrel I like putting things like that on my watchlist tho bc people usually realize that what they're asking for is just fucked up lol

@tom thats a good strategy !!! i didn''t think about that

@squirrel it often ends up in expired listings and broken hearts but i can still dream

@tom it needed some tlc

it had 2 leaked internal batteries (cmos, not sure what the second one was for) and the hard drive was seized

ripped the batteries out (still works just doesn't save bios) and replaced the hdd with a cf card and it works wonderfully

@squirrel yeah that's honestly what I'd expect from a computer that old
