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.

For some reason otherwise obsolete setups that live on for a specific purpose please me. But also you can get a USB to serial device on the cheap.

Edit: Just noticed the community this is in. So I guess... live on niche XP laptop!
