i have a 486 notebook with about 16mb of ram. windows 3.1 and office works fine there. i want to unload it but i dont want to give it away since it costs a lot the day i bought it. any place buys these old stuffs?

Go to a small local computer shop to see if they will buy it from you. If you wanted to you could try to sell it here in the User to User, Biz to Biz forum. http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

sorry to disappoint u guys but my aunt is getting it for her 8 year old daugther. sorry i didnt know she wanted it until the other day. what i'm wondering is what you guys will use it for.

A 486 notebook is still useful. The most useful thing of it is that it is portable. Why would you want to spend $3000 on a Pentium III 750 laptop when all you are going to use it for is word processing, play a few card games on it, ect. http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

they work great for reprogramming two-way business radios in the field.

I need something lightweight to run procomm for dos. Its easier than toting a dumb terminal to configure routers.

Joel, it is a no-brainer. I spent 3500 so I could watch DVD's in the car, why else?
