I ran Windows 7 and later Windows 10 (32-bit, both) on a T60 running my BBS. It certainly ran decently enough, running the BBS, WinAMP, shoutcast, the occasional web browser and libreoffice in 3GB of RAM. AA> And, the T60 simply has a very pleasant keyboard to work with. The T43 was my personal favorite - a little sleeker than the T60, but only a single-core and 2GB of RAM though. I ran one with a PATA SSD for some time as a part-time system - it was fun to go into a coffee shop full of wide-screen shiny silver MacBooks and open up this black laptop covered in stickers with a 4:3 screen. https://realitycheckbbs.org/images/thinkpad.jpg I had a USB network card that I used for pentesting that had a very obvious external antenna if I wanted more sideways glances. --- SBBSecho 3.15-Win32 * Origin: http://realitycheckbbs.org | tomorrow's retro tech (1:218/700) SEEN-BY: 1/123 10/0 1 15/0 90/1 102/401 103/1 705 105/81 106/201 120/340 SEEN-BY: 123/131 129/305 153/7715 214/22 218/0 1 109 215 650 700 720 SEEN-BY: 218/810 820 840 850 860 870 880 900 226/30 227/114 229/110 SEEN-BY: 229/111 112 113 114 206 307 317 400 424 426 428 452 470 550 SEEN-BY: 229/664 700 266/512 282/1038 292/854 301/1 317/3 320/219 SEEN-BY: 322/757 342/200 396/45 460/58 633/280 712/848 PATH: 218/700 229/426 |
