Recently picket up this old Thinkpad T30 for 2 bucks at a local flea market. Its a bit scratched up and the battery is more or less dead but everything else is working fine. Its Pentium 4M, 1gb of ram and 40gb hdd might be a bit overkill for win2k but its really amazing. Running Firefox 13 and a webone proxy to deal with ssl issues.

        I obviously dont use a 24 years old OS as my daily driver. I just love to play around with a OS thats older than me

            Nope. Only have n64 and snes atm. Dont think this laptop would run gc at a playable framerate.

                Dolphin is the main GC/Wii emulator. It works great on a modern-ish computer, but you can’t really run it on GC-era hardware.

      It’s the Lilac color scheme that really makes it - we had that on my family’s first PC and classic Win UIs don’t look quite right to me without it.
