Original Purchase
This machine was purchased direct from the Dell Website in 2000, while living at the Martinez household. For $50 more, I could have had a larger screen and a Pentium III processor instead of a weak Celeron. This is a lesson in how not to be, unless you want to be penny-wise and pound-foolish. Joel Martinez reminds me (quite correctly) of this error in judgment quite regularly, which is something I definitely appreciate.
Historical Summary
This section was taken from my old personal website, which is archived at and accessible from The VAX Pirate's Lair. As such, the contents are likely out of date and not particularly reliable.
This laptop replaced an ancient Toshiba 486. I bought it direct from Dell in 2000 or 2001. It has run Windows 98, Windows NT Workstation 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Red Hat Linux, and most recently netBSD. Not a horribly good machine-the keyboard barely works. It makes a good portable UNIX box with netBSD, provided you don't need "i", the down arrow, or "delete." Oh well, theres always telnet...
