Hi I thought about this as I am getting my nieces old laptop this month which has a broken cd. Anyways for years now I have been reading about very old legacy laptops and potential uses for them. I think I finally came across a good use for older laptops.
First off counting on how old the laptop is and its hardware you might be able to do different things with a old laptop that would make it usefull in many ways. As a library-book a legacy laptop may have a few uses in that if may become a portable library and reference book that could be put to good use. My main interet in this that got me interested is that I have huindreds of tutorials that I can not spend long periods of time with my crt monitor because of uncomfortable seating and glace from my crt. Now a laptop has a crt monitor with less eye strain for long hours of studying. Also being portable like a book you can use it anyware you wish.
Now the strength here is that a useless piece of junk may become usefull in many ways. Personally when I get my laptop I am going to load all my tutorials on it and use it a programming reference manual etc. I also found books on CD at the library that may be usefull for listening to books etc.
The end result will be a portable library that I can take anywhere I go.
Anyone else have any ideas for the succ use?
