   I ran Windows 7 and later Windows 10 (32-bit, both) on a T60 running my BBS.   
   It certainly ran decently enough, running the BBS, WinAMP, shoutcast, the   
   occasional web browser and libreoffice in 3GB of RAM.

   The T43 was my personal favorite - a little sleeker than the T60, but only a   
   single-core and 2GB of RAM though. I ran one with a PATA SSD for some time as   
   a part-time system - it was fun to go into a coffee shop full of wide-screen   
   shiny silver MacBooks and open up this black laptop covered in stickers with a   
   4:3 screen.

   I had a USB network card that I used for pentesting that had a very obvious   
   external antenna if I wanted more sideways glances.
