I just got rid of an extremely old laptop - an IBM ThinkPad. I'm not sure what model it was, but it was a Pentium 75 with 24 MB of RAM running Windows 95. It had a floppy drive and an external parallel Zip drive, I guess CD drives weren't popular then.

The next step of riding myself of out of date technology is tyo get rid of all my iOmega zip drives and disks. I ripped out my old internal Zip 250 drive from my Linux box and dumped 20 zip disks that were collecting dust. It was a total pain because Ubuntu would only recognize a zip disk at boot time and then I couldn't eject a disk until it was in restart mode. Of course when I attached the drive to my old windows box, it worked fine. Its kind of funny when an OS released in 2001 worked better than one released in 2006.

The linux box is next to go, its an Athlon 1.2 GHz system with 768 MB of RAM. Its a full tower with a pretty weak graphics card and a tiny hard drive. I'm going to fully wipe the hard drive and reinstall the latest version of ubuntu since I don't have copies of XP laying around. If anyone wants it let me know otherwise its going to a local computer store. The windows box will be after that, but I have to clean it up and get rid of its graphics card, it draws more power than its power supply can handle. Which causes it to crash when there is heavy graphics work like 3d games.

Update: I also have an old Palm Tungsten E if anyone wants one.
