Heh...  I bought a Power Computing PowerTrip laptop from the original
owner and it had not a scratch on it.  Only thing missing was the hard
drive which I replaced this evening and used the original restore
floppy/CD that came with the computer.  Windoze 95.

Got through the restore and don't cha know...  The setup Wizard is
demanding a number off a certificate of authenticity!  WTF???  The
freakin' operating system is eight years old...

Still, not bad for $30

(Who's thinking Linnux for this one)

JT, is there no COA on the unit?  If that is the orginal recovery CD
there ought to be a COA on the machine.

If there isn't I think I can dig up a good Win95/98 number.

After being shown the path to a hacker site, (by someone on the RI ng),
I was able to successfully finish the Windoze 95 re-install.

Now, I have a (sort of) fully functioning laptop that seems pretty zippy
for a product made in 1997.   (233mhz Pentium MMX)

This thing is a museum piece as it doesn't have a mark or scratch on it,
two functioning batteries, a very crisp display.  When produced, it had
excellent reviews and cost in the $5K neighborhood.

Challenges that remain include upgrading the BIOS so that the 40GB hd
won't appear as an 8GB, and maybe max memory (128mb) and be expanded to
at least 256MB.

Perhaps some form of Linnux will be in its future as it might be a
decent machine to take on road trips.

BTW, does COA mean certificate of authenticity?  Supposed to be a
certificate but that is one of the things I either mislaid or it did not
come with it.  Supposed to be green in color according to MicroSquish...

Yes, the certificate of authenticity is referred to as a COA, it is a
label usually on the side or back of the machine that is usually very
colorful hologram, and will say something like "Microsoft Windows 2000
Professional" and will have the COA number, that long ugly string of
numbers Microsoft insists you type in when you install Windows.

That label certifies that the copy of Windows on that machine is a
legitimate copy, if you buy a used computer and the COA is missing or
wrong (say an XP machine with a Win2000 COA) it may have a bootleg copy
of Windows, and there is the (very) faint chance you could face the
wrath of Bill.
