They keep this 20+ year old laptop around because it has a serial port and every now and then that comes in handy.

You can't really see it in the picture but the laptop is pretty thick and heavy.

Well, you just have to not use the internet. Just like in the olden times...

I also have an old XP laptop stored away. Its only purpose: Talk to my old photo negative scanner whose software won't run on more recent OS's. Only communication with the outside world is by USB memory stick.
