She just came into my office one day and plunked it down on my desk. It was very complete, with the laptop, power supply, a working battery, nylon carrying case, and even some bootable DOS disks with Wordperfect on them. It looks mint, works beautifully, and I am very pleased with it&#8217;s presence in my collection.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-99 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.computeroblivion.com\/testsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/ibmpc.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.computeroblivion.com\/testsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/ibmpc-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Full view of PC Convertible\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.computeroblivion.com\/testsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/ibmpc_closed.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.computeroblivion.com\/testsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/ibmpc_closed-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Closed view of PC Convertible\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.computeroblivion.com\/testsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/ibmpc_screen.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.computeroblivion.com\/testsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/ibmpc_screen-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Screenshot of PC Convertible\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.computeroblivion.com\/testsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/ibmpc_bag.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.computeroblivion.com\/testsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/ibmpc_bag-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Carrying Bag for PC Convertible\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The PC convertible was IBM&#8217;s first clamshell style laptop, introduced in 1986.
