I'm looking for a laptop - my dilemma is my bootlegged versions of Autocad will
only install on up to Win '98 - (I can't find newer versions of Autocad, so
far).
Someone recommend IBM Thinkpad 600E as a good cheap laptop - they say I could
find for about $250, and could downgrade install Win '98.
Also I came across the employee / friends key to get into the IBM employees
computer purchase website (for new laptops of course).
I hate to put a lot of time / money in something old;
but would it pay to buy a used laptop?
Thanks In Advance

You should never advertise that you have illegal copies of AutoCAD. Autodesk
have a known history of taking action against people with bootleg copies.
You better hope no one reports this to AutoDesk or you could be in trouble.
As for a laptop for under $250 you best bet is probably E-bay.
