toshiba notebook on CL

Posted on 2015-05-28, 19:30

I'm taking to a guy on Craigslist who has a working Toshiba T1000 for sale. From the looks of it (it has a 4:3 display, not the squat one) it's the XE model. He also says it includes two spare batteries. He's asking $75. Ebay has a few T1000s - none working, but the "for parts" items sell for about …

Win7 would probably run fine on that machine, but only after extensive tweaking/maxing out the RAM. 3GB would be plenty. Assuming there's driver support, 32-bit Win7 would give you the best of both worlds with modern computing and software compatibility. The thread management is vastly improved, and …

This is cool, but I prefer MooD for the C64 as it could more feasibly be tweaked into a full-featured game. I could be wrong, but in terms of engines I think real 3D gets you more bang for your buck on old PCs than raycasters.

Last week: "Removing DRM and online are impossible! These features are vital to the operation of the XBox One!" So am I to believe the XB1 is now less capable than it was? What happened to those awesome cloud features that REQUIRED an internet connection? Are they taking that back?

I can see the appeal of that. It's when a game expects me to relate to a female character on an emotional level where I start to get lost. With either gender, really. Heads rolling, guts exploding, don't care. Relationships and drama... uncomfortable. What were we talking about?

My point exactly. Win8-32 should even have some support for WIN16 programs. And maybe this is just because I haven't been touched by the glory of EAX, but I don't find it enough of a reason to choose XP over anything (especially if the games still work without it).

Assuming all these things about incompatibility are true... I still don't see the point of having an XP machine if you already have Win7 and Win98SE machines. I can't imagine any programs that are too old for one and too new for the other.

Yes, the 2000/XP niche is slowly disappearing. I have a netbook that runs Win7 x32 and I run all my older programs that won't run in 64-bit. Anything else that's "just plain too old" runs fine on my P2 Thinkpad. I think my P4 and dual-core machines will be next on the auction block. It'll be …
