			The IBM ThinkPad 560 was launched in May 1996 as a small, light, and compact laptop for the business market. It came with an Intel Pentium 100, 120, or 133 MHz CPU and Windows 95.

			=== Collection Specifics ===
			I bought this laptop for $60, plus $28 shipping from eBay in September 2020. As of February 2024, this is the oldest, fully functional computer currently in my collection.

			==== Operating System ====
			This laptop would've originally shipped with Windows 95. When I first got the laptop, the OEM IBM installation of Windows 95 was still present on the device, but unfortunately the hard drive was on its way out and I didn't get a chance to back up the installation before it died. Now, a retail copy of Windows 95 is installed because I was not able to find recovery media for this device.

			==== Hardware ====
			The only hardware modification I've done to this machine is replacing the hard drive when it failed. Surprisingly, the battery still holds a charge for a little while.
