 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.
