Me, too.  :) I have a 365XD that I just replaced the hard drive in.
It's got a 100 Mhz Pentium, 24 Mb of memory, and (now) a 6.1 gig hard
drive.  I bought it second hand, and with the exception of the
original drive, it's about the most durable laptop I've had, the
pcmcia slots work great, even with Debian 2.1, the keyboard and screen
are comfortable, and you'll probably be able to get one for
bargain-basement prices.
