Reviving the Omnibook

Omnibook 500It lives again!

After gathering dust on a shelf, my HP Omnibook 500 laptop of past mobile computing glory is back in the daily rotation as a portable living room browsing machine.

This little thing sports a Mobile Pentium III/600, 512MB SDRAM, 40GB hard drive, 12.1-inch XGA TFT screen, 8MB ATI Rage Mobility M1 and a Belkin 802.11b/g wireless card. And all this at just 3.7 pounds in a 1 inch thick chasis.

I originally got this laptop back in 2002. Now, I just hope this machine can continue running smoothly as a modest living room laptop.
