I originally bought it.
Here's the search parameter I used:

Just doing a cursory scan I see that as I was typing this, there was an IBM
Thinkpad with a 12.1 inch TFT display and a DVD drive that just went for
$299 and a working Toshiba Tecra with 12" screen that just sold for $41.
I'm sure you can find something sufficiently cheap.


Yeah. Lots of stuff using Win98, too, but I'm not sure that can be made to
support USB. I think I tossed my ME CD a week or two ago. Worst OS I ever
tried, including Mac OS 8.

Wish I had time this afternoon to pop into town and see what they've got there.
I've got some stuff that might actually make a decent one-to-one swap for a
$600 or $800 laptop.
