(Full view this photo for details.)

Here's another photo of a nearly 16-year old laptop, the Toshiba Tecra 720CDT...a laptop that used to belong to someone else. The unit used to have a 1.2 GB hard disk that was later put on the GRiD 2270, but it and the memory were upgraded almost a month ago. The laptop is not internet capable by default, but if you add a PCMCIA networking card, it will be internet capable...however, it is slow due to the processor speed and graphics memory. Unlike the GRiD 2270, the laptop has a colour display with a closeup portrait of my Mechapuff R2 character, part of a realistic painting of my characters by *Remember2Live.

Anyways, here are the current specs for the Toshiba Tecra 720CDT:
    :bulletblue: Processor: Intel Pentium CPU/133 MHz
    :bulletblue: BIOS: Toshiba Corportation Pnp (1999/3/1)
    :bulletblue: Display: 12.1" TFT active matrix colour; 1024 x 768 resolution with 65,536 colours; manufactured April 1996
    :bulletblue: Internal Hard drive (removable): 2.5" 4.32 GB Toshiba MK4309MAT (ATA/33, UDMA Mode 2) 4200 RPM (8,944 cyl/15 heads/17 spt)
    :bulletblue: External Hard drive (PCMCIA): IBM Travelstar 8E w/2.5" 8.1 GB IBM DYLA-28100 (ATA/33) 4200 RPM (15,880 cyl/16 heads/63 spt) with PCMCIA card on socket 1
    :bulletblue: System memory: 144 MB (16 MB soldered + 128 MB EDO RAM on memory slot)
    :bulletblue: Video chipset: Chips & Technologies 82c455 v2.3
    :bulletblue: Video memory: 2 MB
    :bulletblue: Floppy drive: 3.5" 1.44 MB Toshiba external diskette drive (S/N 400ADAPT)
    :bulletblue: CD-ROM: 5.25" Toshiba XM-1402B 6x speed swappable with FDD
    :bulletblue: Storage PC card(s): 16-bit 5v Card and 32-bit 3.3v CardBus (PCMCIA)
    :bulletblue: Networking: Linksys WPC11 v2.5 PCMCIA card on socket 2
    :bulletblue: Operating system: Windows 95 OEM Service Release 2
    :bulletblue: Keyboard: 82 keys; 101 keys total with embedded numeric keypad.
    :bulletblue: Sound: Crystal Semiconductor CS4232/Yamaha OPL3 (YMF262) with two top-mounted stereo speakers.
    :bulletblue: Ports: 1 parallel port and 1 serial port; RJ-11 port for internal modem; 15-pin RGB (SVGA video), serial infrared port, PS/2 101 keyboard/mouse port. Multimedia ports include microphone, headphone, line-in, line-out and a noteworthy security lock port.
The Tecra 720 CDT laptop was released in April 1996 for a introductory price of $6,250. The unit was featured in the 24 June 1996 issue of InfoWorld, page 94. I'm hoping to keep using that laptop until it dies somehow.

Comments anyone?

Yeah! This laptop is almost 16-years old and can't do a lot of things that a modern laptop can. :(

But its a living piece of technological history, which is pretty cool! My laptop overheats on me more than it does anything else anyways ;)

I agree. These old laptops are definitely built to last this way.

The wallpaper is also installed on the 19-year old tablet PC. However, the size of the image has been reduced to just 640 x 480 with a resolution of 16 grays, dithered...taking up about 150 KB of disk space.

Yep. The GRiD 2270 was made in July 1993. I believe that the GRiD 2260 was made in late 1992, I believe.

6k in 1996? o_O; That's crazy expensive.

Yep for a 133 MHz Pentium Processor, a 1.2 GB hard drive, 16 MB EDO RAM and Windows 95 OSR 1 pre-installed, that was expensive at the time.
