I know - there's not a lot that can be done with this one, but I just 
hate to dump it.

I just fired up an IBM ThinkPad 2620 running PC DOS / Win 3.1 / Office 
4.2. It's running in 386 enhanced mode and has 16K of free memory.

Battery isn't any good (well, really, neither is any of the rest of it :)

I also have 3 sealed boxes with DOS 3.3 installation media and 
documentation in them.

Amazing what you find when you hit the dusty corners of the closet.

Oh, I also have an IBM ThinkPad 2630, but I know I'll be hanging on to 
that one because I find the butterfly keyboard an interesting solution 
to a problem.
