Toshiba Satellite 5200, with a Pentium 4-M and I think 512MB RAM
At 1600x1200 its higher resolution than my current laptop, and also the monitor I used up until about a year and a half ago.
I had it set to 640x480 at all times because the graphics chip was dead, it had about 5 minutes of battery life and could barely run Nesticle. The HDD died after a year and I was too dumb to know to just replace it. Went without a PC for a while until I got a Core 2 Duo with Vista... that's when I switched to Linux, for good.

Here's hoping checks and balances will save us... and I can't even be too sure of that because of the republican influence in the house and senate.
