Normal sized stapler for size comparison.
My first laptop, bought in 1999 when I retired. I still remembering running back to the old office with it in hand, just long enough for those who knew how much I wanted one to smile with me! The battery has seen better days, but last I tried the laptop still worked — Windows 98 — and all. . . No USB ports, sigh, And I had to lug around the two drives. . . and the 8 inch screen meant a lot of scrolling side to side, even back then! I loved it, it is my ‘baby’. . . but as you can see I let it collect dust, replaced first by a desktop (given to our son and daughter-in-law) and then to my 12″ iBook G4. I keep saying I will see if a computer genius can update it enough that I could use it for my novel. . . (It has MS Word.)
Kind of like those of you still typing on a typewriter, but I can backspace and edit a LOT easier!! And I do a LOT of backspacing. (OK, so it is not really an antique, but it may as well be!
