Hi all,
I'm currently busy with collecting Compaq laptops and portables. The collection is limited to the year 2002, after that HP acquired Compaq.
I started this collection because of a Friends episode where Chandler boosts about the specs of a Contura. I decided that I wanted that laptop as well. After buying a few Contura's to build one working version, I got hooked on restoring and collection old Compaq laptops and portables.
On my (work in progress) website I show my collection (all in working condition), add specifications and background information on each model, tell the story and history of Compaq, offer drivers (all of them), manuals and more.
(all for free, this is just my hobby and I will never ask for anything)
For sources I have ex- Compaq employees and Rod Canion, one of the 3 founders.
Here's the link:

If you have worked for Compaq or know some great stories, please let me know if you want to and I will add them to the website.
My list of Compaq laptops (bigger than what is shown on the website, some still need some work):
