    I have a Toshiba Portege 3110 CT PII 300mhz 192mb pc100/133   
    which is netbook size. Running Win ME.   
      
    An Armada 1750 originally PII 366mhz upgraded to PIII 300mhz   
    328mb pc100/133 which is a bit heavy laptop. Not real heavy.   
    Running Win ME.   
      
    A Dell C400 P3 1ghz running Win2K. 512meg ram I think. Don't   
    recall. Nice also netbook size.   
      
    A 133mhz Pentium so old they didn't have numbers for pentiums   
    yet. Can't recall the ram, not much. running Win 98 cause Win ME   
    won't install on a computer less than 200 mhz or so. Actually,   
    it will, I recently learned if you use a /something can't recall   
    what on the setup command.   
      
    And a couple 486dx100s with 16mb ram running Win 98 I plan to   
    take back to dos. Romdos probably. Eventually.
