    4. @vt3c Mine's the Compaq Armada M300. I call it "Mada" because why not.

          1. @techdisk I can't surf any more because of old software. Windows 98

            Wednesday, 22-May-13 00:11:14 UTC from web
    5. @vt3c it's like a little netbook with a fraction of the power and a whole lot cooler.

      Wednesday, 22-May-13 00:11:02 UTC from web
      1. @techdisk Had to lay it to rest.

        Wednesday, 22-May-13 00:11:36 UTC from web
    6. @vt3c I even have the base docking unit with a floppy drive(!) and a cd drive.

      Wednesday, 22-May-13 00:11:44 UTC from web
    7. @vt3c Pfft. XP. Get my Pentium II Mada, Puppy Linux, and your set.

      Wednesday, 22-May-13 00:12:46 UTC from web
    8. @vt3c ... no. (yes.)

      Wednesday, 22-May-13 00:13:00 UTC from web
    9. @vt3c Yeah... I love this thing. I actually also have a Compaq Evo somethingorother that runs XP, but i hate it. The thing is a furnace and isn't retro enough for me to tolerate it. (it did come in handy for installing linux on Mada though, due to its USB boot capability which Mada lacks)

    10. @russianbronymn :P my laptop came from my Dad's job. He bought it from his company for $50. It makes sense it would be updated.

      Wednesday, 22-May-13 01:44:57 UTC from web
    11. @russianbronymn wow. Mine just came with everything :P

      Wednesday, 22-May-13 01:47:30 UTC from web
    12. @russianbronymn Yeah... I actually have legit Windows 95 install and Windows 98 Upgrade disks with their respective boot floppies and the manual with the product key. so i'm set :P

      Wednesday, 22-May-13 01:51:06 UTC from web
    13. @russianbronymn Plus... Hold on, let me check.

      Wednesday, 22-May-13 01:53:07 UTC from web
    14. @russianbronymn I have no idea, to be honest.

      Wednesday, 22-May-13 01:59:48 UTC from web
    15. @russianbronymn Lol, not THAT hardcore. The only reason i have these disks is because they are the OEM disks that came with the computer my parents bought for me a long time ago.

      Wednesday, 22-May-13 02:01:26 UTC from web
    16. @russianbronymn Lol, I'm 17. I just like old hardware... a lot.

        2. @theponymancer define security? and does it need to be a scripting language in particular?
