   Retro laptop?

    KW> Any suggestions?   
      
    I have two old 486DX100 laptops with 16 meg ram I have running   
    Win 98.   
      
    I have a Compaq Armada 1750 PIII 600mhz with 256mb running WinME   
    lite.   
      
    I have a Toshiba 3110 PII 300mhz with 64 meg running WinME lite.   
      
    The only real advantage I find to ME lite is the drivers for usb   
    drives are built in.   
      
    I have an old something I can't even remember Pnothing 133mhz   
    with I don't recall how much ram running Win 98.   
      
    All of them run dos quite well. I run dos on my Dell Dimension   
    4400 P4 1800Ghz 1.5gig ram XP SP3 Pro.   
      
    I am doing this entry on it, using Silver Xpress dos version. Do   
    my up/downloads on it using Wildcat navigator.   
      
    Hell, never even learned to use a spread sheet until a few year   
    ago, would write a dos program for any complicated calculations.   
      
    Oh, and after I do the calcs on my spreadsheet, I still use a   
    dos program to make graphs from them.   
      
    Oh, and I have rom dos and DRDos. Rom dos has PCMCIA drivers, at   
    least one version I have does, and I believe DrDos does also.
