Can you please post photos of the unit itself? Let us see the wear and tear, etc. No offense, but I don't get a good feeling when I see "good working order" and nothing about physical quality ;)

Sure, there are a few threads on free games, but how about saying which ones were more than just a passing fancy? Games that you seriously play, because they're just plain great. For me, I'll start by adding True Combat: Elite. Total-Conversion Wolf:ET mod tactical shooter with a slower...

We don't go to Ravenholm... (Actually, that's the only scary level :p )

I personally didn't do this, but I was there :D We were salvaging some old IBM workstations... boot off a wiper floppy, 2 passes, then put them in the donation pile. My fellow worker got to a machine where the inch-long floppy eject button was off center, and fell out. Knowing that the...

That's purely an html editor. I would first recommend Kate for features, followed by SciTE and Gedit. Seriously, though... learn vi/vim/gvim. It's worth the steep learning curve, and quite efficient once you get the hang of it.

Doom. Oh, wait...

Shogo... why did this game die? :(

Wow! That's a HUGE diff! Glad it all worked out OK... add the the small pool of satisfied aquagate owners :p

yea, well you can't expect too much of power user features in a $500 gateway...

I'm going to back up the thinkpad contingent, I'm on my 3rd (T60), and extremely satisfied with all of them! Ask around for friends-of-friends to see if you can get an employee discount--it's somewhere around 20% off.
