A second 180 arrived today. This one was in similar shape to the first one, minus that the back door was missing and it looks like it broke off sometime in its lifetime because one of the small receivers for the door pin is broken.
12MB of RAM in this one, with the 240MB hard drive.
This one was a another computer with some personal data. When I saw what it was, I was glad to dispose of the information. There are some 90-era IT heads that really didn't know what they were doing. But on the upside, the user had treated it pretty nicely. The trackball doesn't seem to respond correctly--it sticks in one axis intermittently, even after the normal sort of cleaning--but a regular mouse bypasses that small fault.
Best,
John
