For laptops it has to be my HP Pavilion ze4900, but for the desktop I still have the Packard Bell system that runs Windows 95. The Packard Bell system also still works after all these years.

Bondwell B310 Plus... got it for $2 at a garage sale when I was 8, got the thing working a few hours later. This ancient DOS laptop was what really got me into computers. Unfortunately, the hard drive died in it about a year ago, but it still turns on.

Toshiba satellite 1115-s123 (2002) 1.5 Ghz Intel Celeron Processor 512 Mb DDR ram (upgraded by me from 256) 20 GB 5400rpm Hard Drive Windows XP Home Edition It was handed down to me from my grandparents in '07 after it got left outside and was too moist (fog) to operate while they were hiding from winter in Florida. They thought it was broken so they purchased a new laptop. A month later my grandpa decided to try and boot it up to recover info, and to his surprise it worked! I got a call informing me of this, since my grandparents knew me as someone who was into computing, they gave it to me. I had a PB and then an Aptiva, but I barely used either. I was really excited about it because it had one thing nether of those had: THE INTERNET! My parents and sister were really mad at me for hogging the family computer,so this was not only good for me, it was good for them, too. I wouldn't have to share! I bought it a wireless card and got into the great internet. It was slow, but I usually watched TV and computed at the same time. After one year on that, I used Best Buy's loan program (it's great, look into it) to buy a new dell 1545 (which I'm using now). The Toshiba was in storage for a while, but this summer I Facebook posted about it, and my uncle told me he had some extra ram and sent me an upgrade (he wouldn't have used it) for FREE! That made it a million times faster. Now I can stand to use it in a synergy setup.

I still have my childhood Tandy ColorComputer 3 from 1986. Still works, too (not that it can actually run anything modern, though.)

I have a RadioShack TRS-80 Model 100, the ONLY laptop ever that turns on INSTANTLY when you slide the switch. I got it from a guy that paid $1,000 but weeks later couldn't figure out how to work it and he sold it to me for $300. I still have lots of accessories for it but haven't turned it on in years. It was the puter I got after I had a TimexSinclair, did a garage sale on it (printer on adding machine tape, $100, 32K memory, $100, good cassete player - still have- that loaded the programs!) and one of the customers insisted that I sell it to him... made about $100! Now I wish I still had it. But today, 30 years later, I am extremely comfortable on computers and that has saved my bacon on many occasions and taken me far and wide. Sitting here in my basement office I can see boxes and boxes of parts and 12 computer cases of ones that I could no longer upgrade, but they served me well and I can't seem to part with them! Win 7 Ultimate works fine.. but there will be a better OS before I die! Not to mention that I still have my Sony Triniton 20 inch monitor that STILL works like new! Beautiful image and I still use it for graphics and PhotoShop. ....thanks for the memories....

A Gateway MX6454 from 2003-2004. It's on it's last legs because the LCD is leaking ink, some keys are sticky, the trackpad messes up sometimes, overheats, malfunctions and turns off display, the charger port is busted, the battery is shot and the case is cracking. It used to run XP like a champ, now I have Vista and 7 dual-booted on this baby. Other than all of that, it's running fine.
