I still have my Contura in a box in a closet. Along with a PCMCIA network card, the docking station and the 20MB RAM upgrade. Used it up until ~2010 when I got a similarly tiny and inexpensive EeePC. Was a nice small, cheap system that worked well enough as a dumb serial/telnet/ssh terminal for network management tasks. It was only a little bit slow to start an SSH session. Even started up fast with Linux or FreeBSD. OpenBSD was rather slow to boot.
I didn't have much reason to bother with X11. Text utilities always got the job done, including for web browsing needs thanks to links.
