UPDATE: SOLD to another BeOS developer.

IBM ThinkPad a21m will be appearing on ebay. This laptop has been my trusty, hard-working companion for the last two years and I’ll miss it dearly. However, I think it’s time to say goodbye. In my quest to get rid of things and reduce the numbers of machines I have, I’ve decided to sell this laptop despite it’s great sentimental value to me. Sentimental value in a laptop? February 18th, 2003 this computer was the first computer in the world to successfully initialize the AWT Toolkit for beunited.orgs port of the Sun JRE.

Own a piece of history! Make an offer, or wait for it to hit ebay!
