So I've been having a hankering to write a novel.

Is the 5300 retro enough, or do I not qualify?

Well, see if it fits the rules from the last challenge:

I think that's pretty clear. Good luck!

actually the 5300 would be just outside.

a 486 or a 68k from the rules - the 5300 is a power pc is it not?

Yes it is PPC.

The only 68k I own is an SEFD. Since it is hardly a laptop, I don't use it very often.

I still just may write my own book on the 5300 as it is a great distraction free machine.

Good idea. I use retro machines regularly in order to avoid distractions. It works remarkably well.
