WinME will run on that, but sloooooow, 95 or 98 (even 98SE) much better. I'd suggest 95 cuz it's the least vulnerable to latest viruses. Before you fdisk, make sure you have the laptop's latest drivers from Compaq for whatever OS you are putting on it.

Compaq's just plug right into the wall don't they? Rick |
