[PLUG] OT: "Museum Piece" free

[Art Alexion <art.alexion@verizon.net>]

My wife is making me get rid of my first computer, a Toshiba T5100
portable.  Some points about this machine:

    * one of the first "clamshell" portables.  The previous boxes were
      like suitcases -- one side detached to reveal the screen and the
      detached part contained the keyboard.
    * Portable didn't mean battery powered.
    * Weighs 17 lbs.
    * Nice leather case.
    * EGA, not VGA.  It is a color card when plugged into an external
      monitor, but the internal screen is that orange monochrome (16
      shades) gas plasma.  I think my wife threw out the external
      monitor a couple of years ago.  Has a hot key utility to toggle
      remapping of colors to shades of gray to maximize readability.
    * The best built in keyboard I have ever used.
    * Originally came with a 386-16; upgraded to a 486-33
    * Originally came with 2 MB RAM; upgraded to the maximum 4 MB.
    * Originally came with 40 MB HDD; upgraded to 100 MB (at a cost of
      $600).
    * Came with DOS 3.3, the first to offer support for partitions as
      large as 40 MB.  Upgraded to MS-DOS 5 (or maybe DR-DOS 7)
    * Original manuals.
    * Built in 9600 modem.

Of  obvious sentimental (and "great historical") value.  Free to a good
home.  Email me off list with questions or arrangements.
