VINTAGE TOSHIBA SATELLITE PRO
460-CDT LAPTOP COMPUTER
This is a fairly long page with at least 16 images on it; dial-up users please allow for plenty of load time.
You have no chance to survive make your time.


This is not a true evaluation, plus the product was not intended to produce light, so my standard review format will not be used here.
This web page was opened on 04-11-08, and last updated on 08-08-11.



Although this is not an LED product, I've published reviews & informational web pages for other non-LED, non-laser, and non-light products on this website. So adding a section to this website about vintage ghetto blasters and vintage computers (well, just this second computer for now; but I may eventually add the Commodore CBM 8032 "all-in-one" desktop computer) was pretty much inevitable.

*** VERY IMPORTANT!!! ***
These web pages are about computers I actually *HAVE* at this very moment (early-April 2008), not machines I once had but no longer do, such as those which were lost during moves, left in pawn shops, etc. like my Commodore VIC-20, Commodore 64, Commodore 128, Radio Shack TRS-80 Model 100, Radio Shack Model 1, Timex Sinclair 1000, Radio Shack Model 3, a Radio Shack handheld, Radio Shack Coco 3, "dumb terminals" (like my Hazeltine 2000, and several others), etc. These web pages will also *NOT* include computers I use at this time, except perhaps the Toshiba Satellite Pro 460CDT laptop, since it is over ten years old, and may be considered "vintage". The Radio Shack TRS-80 Model 100 laptop was frequently used; it was left in a pawn shop in the early-1990s because I could not come up with a measly $10 more I needed to get it out of hawk.

THIS WILL BE THE SECOND-TO-LAST NON-FLASHLIGHT, NON-LED, NON-LASER PAGE TO BE ADDED TO THIS WEBSITE.
THE ONLY PRODUCT LEFT TO BE ADDED TO THIS WEBSITE IS THE COMMODORE CBM 8032 "ALL IN ONE" COMPUTER.

I received this computer from a kind CPF member in late-2002 while I was recovering from (Crash Course in) Brain Surgery {obscure Metallica reference here} at a rehab home/center in Seattle WA. USA so that I could keep in touch with others at CPF.

It has a 166MHz Pentium II MMX processor, 64MB of RAM, and I'm honestly not certain what the capacity of the hard drive is (looks to be ~2.01GB)...but it served its purpose admirably, and still sees action to this day when the cable modem goes offline - as the dial-up service only functions on the laptop computer. For some as-of-yet unknown reason, dial-up no longer functions on this computer (the one I'm typing up this web page on) or the backup computer; and the lab computer (the one that hosts the beam cross-sectional analyser and the battery discharge apparatus) does not have a modem or even any place to install one.

The OS is Windows 98.

This is the only laptop computer I've ever owned that functioned properly - I used to have another laptop - an Apple Macintosh Powerbook 140. It had a monochrome (black and white) screen that displayed these moire patterns on the upper half, but did not display that "sad Mac" symbol when it came up. I was still able move the notepad application to the good part of the screen, and type names and passwords into it. It was left in Seattle in late-2004 so I no longer have it.

Yet another LCARS background; I have several to choose from here.
