Born, raised and educated entirely in West Virginia. Currently a Director of Product Management at a DC tech company. My dad, who worked for the National Park Service for 35 years (retiring last month) brought home a 25Mhz "shades of grey" decommissioned laptop for me to play with in Jr. High. The rest is history. If I look back on that history, I definitely see myself being incredibly lucky, but also putting myself in the position to capitalize on every break that I got. At any rate, thanks for sharing.

Not an early model Toshiba sattelite by any chance? My first computer had those specs, also dexomissioned hand-down, from my uncle.
I don't think so. I'm wracking my brain now to remember the manufacturer. I might have to ask my dad. Ah, childhood comes rushing back.
Amazingly, Toshiba still has a product page up for mine. The picture is misleading, it shows colors on the screen, but the specs list it as monochrome.

Ah, the mighty SX processor series. These look like very similar specs, even though I'm sure it wasn't a Toshiba.
