Retro Technology

Since there's a Future Technology thread, I thought it would be cool to go the other way, older technology. I have quite a few old stuff at the moment but hopefully I will find more to post here in future. At the moment, I have these two laptops.

First is the Compaq Presario 1200EU, it's not a full size laptop, and used to run Windows ME (also has the serial key on the bottom). It now runs 2000 and is pretty heavy considering it's size.


The keyboard on it is one of the old clicky ones so I like that a lot, and they're not completely flat like todays laptop keyboards. Also the screen is 800x600 so the BIOS/Windows 2000 Bootscreen look kind of stretched weird on it.


The lid of it is silver which is strange because the rest of the laptop is black, it doesn't matter too much though.



As you can see it's pretty thick for a laptop, but not too bad, you can also see the dual PCMCIA card slots and the headphone + microphone jacks.

Specs: 64MB RAM, 700MHz Processor, Windows 2000, 6GB Hard Drive, CD-ROM, Floppy, PCMCIA, VGA, Printer, PS/2 Mouse, and Dial-Up Modem


Second is the Toshiba Libretto, a really small Windows 98 computer that can run lots of stuff, also very light. The RAM has been maxed out on it and the hard drive has also been upgraded to the max via official means.


The large thing sticking out of the Libretto is the 5 hour battery I bought for it not long ago. Also, there's some slight marks on the lid but not so much noticable really.


The back has little ports, just an infrared port and a speaker, these can of course be extended using the port replicators below.


See how thin it is, just two DSis thick, not bad for 1997.


Here's the small docking station (port replicator), not much on this one but you should be able to see it's ports.


Here's the large docking station, much bigger and carries an extra PCMCIA slot.


Finally here's the external floppy drive, I don't really use it but it's there if I ever need to.

Specs: 32MB RAM, 1.51GB Hard Drive, 122MHz Processor, Infrared, VGA, Speakers, PS/2, Serial, Printer, and 2 PCMCIAs.

Post your old stuf below!
