Nice score B! :p

From that era, old Toshiba notebooks are the only ones still worth using. Other brands from a comparable time are usually poorly designed, hobbled in some way (eg. rubbish onboard graphics), or have failed - or nigh on impossible to take apart!

My girlfriend's father uses a Toshiba Satellite PII-400 and it's built like a tank, great screen and lets him use WinXP, Outlook Express and his iPod nano quite happily (I'd give him a Mac notebook but he will resist).

One of my only PCs is a mint condition Toshiba Libretto 50CT, Pentium 75 @ 133Mhz, 32MB/10GB HD. There was a seller on eBay recently who had a handful of new 16MB sticks which went for up to $60! I waited and waited until the Libretto legion obtained theirs, and picked mine up for about $20. Then I sold the existing 8MB stick I had for $35! :D Also recently picked up a port replicator for $0.99, it's tiny and lets you plug in an external display/mouse/printer without too much fuss.
