4+ years old. That would put it, probably, at a 266 PII or less.
I've generally passed on my 'old' machine to one of my kids when I get a new one. But I have wished many times that I had held on to one of them, especially the 166mhz or less ones.
The reason is that they were so slow that you could actually "see" the software running. That was, it turned out, extremely educational/valuable. These new jobbies are soooo fast that it all happens as you blink. Not helpful at all when things aren't going right.
Just suggesting that keeping this one around could be helpful.
