The very first contest recently launched, named "Quest for the Oldest Toshiba Laptop," on

Now, that is something, knowing that the T1100 laptop was an important milestone, and the
fact that it was introduced one year before I was even born. That sure gives me perspective on time, and how Toshiba contributed to what we are now very used to and maybe couldn't live without. Since then, this company has sold more than 30 million laptops, and continues to do so.
