I love the Windows 98 era of computing and gaming, but until now I didn't really have a good Windows 98 computer. Old Pentium systems are increasingly hard to come by and expensive, especially if you also want to have a period correct GPU like a 3dfx Voodoo card. Not to mention that a desktop PC takes up a lot of space. But there are still lots of systems on the market that can be found for very little money, and thanks to modern patches and drivers Windows 98 can be made to run on hardware much newer than the system itself. With that in mind, I recently got a Thinkpad T41 from Ebay specifically for running Windows 98, and it runs great. So this is the Thinkpad. It's in decent condition, the top cover is kind of ugly because it is coated in a type of soft rubber that has a lot of scratches and feels a bit sticky, but otherwise it's in good shape. The battery even still holds a charge, if only for 20 minutes or so. But after more than 20 years, that's still impressive. It's a 2003…
