Every machine has a specification sheet.

That is not what this directory is for.

These are the machines as they actually were:
what they arrived with, what was changed,
what broke, what survived, and what happened next.

Some became test platforms.

Some became daily tools.

Some simply refused to die.

ACER_ASPIRE_ONE_ZG5.txt
A tiny netbook that became considerably more
interesting after being given a second life.

------------------------------------------------------------

DELL LATITUDE 2120

DELL_LATITUDE_2120.txt
A small business netbook that found its way
into the lab and onto the operating table.

------------------------------------------------------------

HP COMPAQ nx6110

HP_COMPAQ_nx6110.txt
Old-school business hardware with enough room
for experiments and enough age to make them useful.

------------------------------------------------------------

TOSHIBA SATELLITE M45

Toshiba_Satellite_M45.txt
Pentium M, old BIOS, old storage and a machine
that became much more than another obsolete laptop.

------------------------------------------------------------

THE MACHINES ARE GONE.

THE EXPERIMENTS ARE NOT.

THE FILES REMEMBER WHAT THE SPEC SHEETS DON'T.

IF YOU CAME TO READ, STAY A WHILE.
