Dear lord! This thing is actually usable.
For the past several years, would fire it up for grins and giggles. Watch Windows Vista thrash for 25 minutes before the desktop would be responsive enough to use.

The old fossil is taking to Linux better than expected. I can't bear to toss this. Wrote so much code on it that the keycaps are worn blank. Also the only somewhat modern laptop I have with a good, mechanical keyboard.
@indigo Probably. It, like the Seiko I wouldn't let them near, sometimes requires a machine that produces negative pressure to affix the back cover. Sidekick and I are going to a few Nashville museums in a few weeks. I'll take it to a repairman while I am there.
