Its just starting to put me off, if you search for any

The nightmare I have experienced recently is trying to get any information on older
Laptops. I.e. I have taken a liking for Toshiba 2100 series 486 laptops. If you try to
search Google for anything relating to them, i.e. to find out what speed processor they
have in them, what video chip they use, you're deluged with Laptop Battery ads for
batteries priced at 2-5 times what you paid for the laptop.
