No, I kinda want a laptop that is fun and quaint, I like thinking about the movie "true lies" where arnold gets on that arab computer with windows 3.1, makes me think about the windows 3.1 time period I guess...

You'd be surprised what sells on ebay... But it does seem though that the lowest price point for laptops is around pentium 166mhz laptops, I guess it's cause they're not very nostalgic, but otherwise as you go higher/lower in terms of performance, price goes up.. I remember when I was looking a while back for a 486, they were going for $100...

Aren't these laptops better than the $100 laptops they wanted to give poor kids?
