my uncle gave me an IBM ThinkPad 360Cs for free a couple months sgo. He didn't have an adaptor for it though, so i can't use it. So what i need is is the base specs on this to see if this is really worth buying an adaptor for it.

Ok, first... do some research...

Second... it has a 486 and 8MB RAM... not worth a whole lot.

You won't be able to run basically anything on that.
Games?  Nope
Word Processing?  Possibly, if you find a very old, very tiny, word processor.
Internet?  I doubt it.  It won't be able to keep up with DSL, maybe not even Dial-up.
btw, the hard drive on that is very old and small (capacity).  I have more then 3,000 times that space on my computer.  Literally.

I was saying DSL because it is designed for low RAM and CPU usage too.  486's aren't all that snappy.
