Recently picket up this old Thinkpad T30 for 2 bucks at a local flea market. Its a bit scratched up and the battery is more or less dead but everything else is working fine. Its Pentium 4M, 1gb of ram and 40gb hdd might be a bit overkill for win2k but its really amazing. Running Firefox 13 and a webone proxy to deal with ssl issues.

Ill admit it is cool but as a zoomer i will never understand the millenial desire to make a computer look like this by choice

Im a Zoomer myself and I love those old win95-2k aesthetics! You cant tell me that this doesn't look amazing

It's the Lilac color scheme that really makes it - we had that on my family's first PC and classic Win UIs don't look quite right to me without it.
