Careful now... I've a T30 that is OK, but the T21 is a (actual) doorstop
(blink-of-death issue), and my trusty old A21M just keeps on like an old
Timex watch; takes a beat'n & keeps on tick'n.

The only issue that I have on mine is that it is too expensive to
replace the battery & add more memory. I have to add that my A21M has an
LCD  & diskdrive from a discarded Dell laptop, an mini-ethernet card
from the doorstop T21, and stickers on the cover from when my kid was in
grade-school (nearly 10 years now). Some folks laugh when I plonk the
thing down and start plug it in (AC power) to fire it up... Most stop
laughing (with their slow-mo virus infected machines) when they see it
in action & I tell them that it's only an 800Mhz/384Mb machine.
