I got a 755C from Data Path about 6 months ago - it was "like new" except that the
battery was dead, as expected. It has been a very useful machine, especially after
I put a 4 GB hard drive in it. If you are careful about what programs you use and
limit background processes an old 486 laptop can provide decent performance.
About 18 months ago I got a 720 from DataPath, it was very amusing. It still had
all the programs and data from the previous owner, very uninteresting stuff from a
traveling auditor for Radio Shack. The machine was in decent condition.
Just another data point or maybe two.
