What is the oldest computer that you own that is still functional?

[Kirby64]

I got a 633mhz celeron, 8GB HD, 128MB RAM, nothing compared to TI 99/4A, but it runs my personal vent server all right

 

[Rastus]

I have a 10,000 year old abacus. Don't really use it anymore, but it still boots.

 

[ForumMaster]

my dad had one of the first macs with a PowerPC cpu instead of the 68K motorola chips. now the oldest computer i have is a 7600 Macintosh.

 

[Amused]

A 1998 Dell XPS-R 450 updated with a Tualitan Celeron on a Slot-T Adaptor 1400MHz, WD SE HD and a GeForce 3.

It's actually very usable still.

I have an old AT&T branded Server that has a 33mhz processor and running 4mb of ram. I had to leave it at the parents house but it is still fun to break it out for a laugh.

 

[oboeguy]

Nothing too old. I have a Celeron 366 o/c'd to 550 running win2k beautifully (mostly as a terminal via RD to another computer hehe).

 

[MaDDinGO]

Celeron 400mhz, 384 megs of ram, 130 gigs HD - with WinXP that I use for downloading and as a FTP server

I've got an apple 2e with a voice synthesizer and a green/black screen.

 

[Sphexi]

We had an IBM PC (not XT/AT), with the dual 5 1/4" drives, 10 and 20MB harddrives, and monochrome monitor. Still worked last I checked, but last one after that was an IBM Blue Lightning 75mhz something or other.

 

[JeepinEd]

Commodore Vic20 / Ti994/A
and my favorite, a Kaypro II
one of the first portable computers that weighed a mere 28 or so Lbs.
ran on a Z80 at a whopping 2.2 Mhz
built in 9" green monitor + 2 (yes two) floppy drives!

Anyone remember CP/M?

I have a functioning compaq portable. http://oldcomputers.net/compaqi.html

1 5 1/4 drive, no internal hard drive. Lots of disk swapping going on.

More than a mere IBM clone, the Compaq Portable is something different, it's transportable, designed so it can easily be taken aboard an airliner as carry-on luggage.

hahaha, awesome!

 

[secretanchitman]

packard bell pentium 60Mhz, 16MB ram, 4MB video, 15" NEC crt monitor, X amount of hard drive space, 14.4k modem...it just got upgraded with a pci network card!

p2 400 @ 448mhz as a silent machine... trying to sell it though.
Otherwise, Mobile TBred 2500

 

[Brutuskend]

I built my grandmother a 386 YEARS ago and she's still using it today.

And she has NEVER, EVER had any troubles with it since day one.

(YEAH YEAH YEAH, I'm working on a updated one for her right now... Though I doubt IT will be as trouble free as the one she's been using ALL this time )

 

[ed21x]

An Apple 2E is my current footstool. Otherwise, I still have a Macintosh LC plugged in, and the thing hasn't crashed in around 15 years!

I use to play the original Test Drive on my Amdsterdam 8086 PC-compatible with 512MB at that resolution with 4 colors. It was fun despite all of the pixelated screen with mosaic looking cars. Now I don't think I can tolerate any resolution lower than 800x600@32bits. I think I use it to play game until Kings Quest 4 where it has up to 8 floppy disks to swap depending on where you are on the map. When I toss it away just the summer of this year it still boot to dos and I can still boot up the GUI "Gem Desktop 1.0" by Digtial Equipment.
