25 year old laptop---still works!!
Tonight, digging around, found a power supply for an old IBM Thinkpad, "I wonder" so I went and dug out the old Compaq LTE-5000 made around 95-ish and hasn't been powered up for at least 5-6 years maybe more. Checked the voltage/ polarity/ size of the power plug and fired that ***** right up!!!! Rompin Stompin Pentium 1 at 95 mhz!!!
I still have a couple of these older rigs because I still have some old commercial FM radios that can/ have been used on Amateur Radio. Some of these old radios must be programmed for channel information with a software program, runnning in an old "DOS" environment, via a by Gawd 9 pin serial cable!!!!
So this one still has the GE MLS program. "Laplink" a couple of different versions. This was a VERY useful program that could be used for file transfer, and in fact the program itself could "sometimes" be forced to another computer if the recipient didn't have that software
And XTREE GOLD one of the best (for me) file organization, manipulation, editing, and transfer programs EVER. it has NEVER been surpassed in my book
