The most annoying part of these PCs is usually the keyboard - so terribly small! I have one tucked away which I see no reason to throw away, yet I have troubles finding a use for it. I'm thinking of building some sort of enclosure to hide the body, and use it as some sort of electronic journal with a properly sized keyboard. Hmm.

And it's running Firefox with two tabs open 😁Careful, that may be near the maximum of its browsing capabilities! Browsers (and webpages) were different beasts 17 years ago.

Lovely work. It's great to show how these old machines can still get stuff done if you forget Windows

I’m using a 2007 laptop to run a cnc plasma cutter and its can also run librecad no problem.

Congrats!

I wish I knew Linux just enough to save old computers. Everyone how already know how to do it say it is easy but every time I did it it was paintful and I end up with either a very slow computer or something that can't connect easily to the internet..

Are you sure it's not 64-bit capable? My netbook shipped with 32-bit Windows but I found out it actually did support 64.

ahh amazing! netbooks are so portable, i miss the one i used for everything in the 2010s 🥹🫶

Ah, I'm running something on an Atom proc as well. Sort of an emergency terminal. Nice and simple.

I wonder if you could play some of the Soldak games on it? I got Drox Operative 2 running on a low spec laptop from 2011 at 60FPS.

Probably the newest games with the lowest spec requirements I can think of. Otherwise there is retro gaming.

Wonderful !

You love to see it.

My fingernails are itchy looking at those stickers…

What do you intend to use it for?
