"It was a little worse for wear... but I wanted to nurse it back to health."
An interesting video for people who like vintage computers: the mid to late 1990s is not only a hinterland of general boringness between "vintage" and "modern", but the high point of Windows domination, when software (especially operating systems) was so awful that stuff running it is difficult to put to enjoyable use. As a $20 thrift store find, a mid-1990s IBM Thinkpad is a good find. But it won't even run Windows XP!
(I found one on eBay, but will pass on it.)
P.S. I know many will disagree, but I found those old Thinkpads perfectly portable: imagine the battery life you'd get these days from a laptop nearly two inches thick!
