Congrats! [
] ]'> Besides my PowerBook 100, which was my first laptop, the 150 is the only early PB I ever wanted for my collection. It's unique.
How much memory? Using Duo Modules (if you can find the adapter) and large IDE drives made the 150 the most expandable, long term useful member of the 100 series by far. This despite it being the last of the series with necessary designe trade-offs, purpose building it to occupy the low end of the next gen lineup.
Collectors poo-poo its passive matrix LCD, but it was made in a day when passive was commonplace and active was a very expensive subsystem, out of the price range of many, if not most. The vast majority of those detractors were not familiar with using laptops or the differences between the types if they'd been born at all in that era. To hear anyone call a Passive Matrix screen unusable is laughable. You used what you could afford and were happy to have it back in that day.
