Anyone who would throw away one of those pass-through cords is an idiot! I love those things!

Sweet!
I remember when I found a MAC in the garbage!
Heheh...I can't tell that story here.

It can't be any worse than 3 daisy chained surge protectors in one outlet, right?

They probably put it to the curb because it really was worthless. Noone wants to buy a pentium 133 system. If I had one I'd put it out to the curb too.

Edit: I would keep the cord though.

You shouldn't sell it...the shipping will probably be more than the value of the parts anyhow. What you should do is turn it into a Linux-based router for your network. That's what I'm doing with my parent's old P133 system. I upgraded the RAM to 128MB though. I've got the type of RAM your machine takes. :D

IBM supplied them with their systems for quite a while.
Sure makes it easier to plug everything into one power strip.

Hey, I just threw out that case about a month ago. It was sitting down my basement for a couple of years. I got it with a P133, but I had put a K6-II 500 on a shuttle mobo that was both AT and ATX. My daughter was using it and when something went bad I just sh!t canned it.
