2 gig.  Impressive.

Find your porn stash?

[Celery Man 20,929]

I don’t think I had porn on this. Found some junior high papers and my snes emulator

You fool! Did you ensure it was Y2K compliant before powering on? You could've killed us all!

It was my dad's retired work laptop, although your point stands.

Pretty impressive that it still runs.

My first laptop (never owned a desktop) was a 486 with a 30MB HDD.

I have a 1995 Compaq Presario that looks a lot like the IBM upthread. It only works when plugged in (battery is toast as the guy above me said) but it's equally hilarious to dive through and poke around junior highschool crap that is on it. This is the one: https://www.ebay.com/c/118259215

Those IBMs back in the day were pretty much Armageddon proof.

A lot of electronic components can corrode and deteriorate over time.  Capacitors in particular.

Particularly capacitors from capacitor plague era, a problem related to a higher-than-expected failure rate of non-solid aluminum electrolytic capacitors.
