Quit out to dos and type in MSD

EDIT: MSD - Microsoft Diagnostics, this gives you info on RAM and Processor speed, and that. I used to sue Windoze and DOS a lot so I know a lot of this stuff.

Measure the screen corner to corner with a ruler.
You'll also need to list what they come with:
Power adaptor
Battery
floppy disk
CD-ROM
Windows CD and license
Carrying case
etc.

well, considering the monocrhome screen and the fact that they aren't even pentiums I'd say you might be able to get about 25 shipped for each one. Sorry, but there really isn't much you can do with those anymore ;). They would have been perfect candidates for digital picture frames (I made one out of an old thinkpad with a 90Mhz pentium) except for the monochrome screen.

Monochrome isn't bad though, if you have the olde tyme pics lol. Heck I'd buy that and throw linux on it. Seriously, how much would you want for that?

definately interested in just putting some sort of UNIX of there and messing around with the command-line. $20 shipped ok(I live in 85755)? PM me with response

[CanadaRAM]

OK, guys, before you jump on the "$20 shipped" bandwagon, consider the seller's location. If that is Melbourne, Australia there is not a chance on this green Earth that the seller is going to eat $65 - $95 worth of shipping to N. America...

good point. didn't bother to look at the location. forget what i said, i need the shipping money for the new macbook
