Hey everyone. I just remembered a trip down memory lane from 2002 when I bought an IBM 600x for $42AUD. It’s running great now, just needs a fresh battery. This made me think about others who might have purchased machines that can handle 16-bit applications natively. Can’t wait to get SimTower up and running again and relive the original Doom experience. I’ll share some photos once I have the chance.

You paid 42 dollars for that? That’s really disappointing—I thought they were almost giving them away at the recycling center. At least the battery is still functioning, though I’m not sure how long that will last.

Sure, it sounds like you’ve got a great deal going on—just spent a lot of money on an old T21 from work for free, but now you’re looking to upgrade it with a new battery and maybe some VMs. You really appreciate the nostalgia of something from about 20 years ago!

I really like this concept! The IBM 600x was my first notebook I received from work back then. It lasted through everything and kept me active because it weighed a lot—2 tons! Now I’m older, heavier, and I switched to an HP slim notebook; it doesn’t matter anymore... hmm.
