I have enough parts to put a 30mk1 together with a bad touchscreen and a special bios so no wireless,in other words junk. But it works.

How about I park my V10 Dodge 2500 4x4 on it? That might leave a mark. :D

My CF-30 accompanies me to college every day and does everything I ask of it and more. Gotta say all the other students in my classes give me admiring looks, probably because they haven't seen a real man's laptop before!
Yeah, I was using my 19, the one I carry the most and I heard a mumbled comment this week and turned to see another student peering over my shoulder. The professor who was standing there said" ...looks like military grade..." I just chuckled and finished my assignment. Nobody else in class uses Linux either.

I do get a few looks from other students. LOL.

Touchscreen is an easy fix....PCMCIA wifi should work. It did in mine.

Outer panel is bad and it was long ago stripped for parts,I'm buying 30mk3's complete for $100 so it's a willing sacrifice. :D

Did your handle show up?
