Hi,
I just finally found myself a Contura 4/25C. Nothing special maybe, but to me this is one cool machine.
The first PC I ever touched was a Contura 3/25 (Which I still have), and this machine is identical, except it is a 486 and it has a color LCD.
It's pretty cool to see colors on a machine where I am used to black and white VGA.
It is running Win 3.11 with a Compaq brand, and is in pristine condition,except from a hinge I needed to repair. The LCD is passive, but it's one of the better ones, so games run pretty well on it.
I remember on the BW model, it ghosted very much, but games were still playable unless there were millions of moving things at the same time.
A nice addition to the collection
