I can't believe no one said the best solution yet, of course you shoot it. I've always wanted to put a couple holes in a laptop screen.

Um, I would put xp on it and sell it on ebay, I had a few old comaq something or anothers, 64 mb ram, 400 mhz processors, 6gb hard drive, cdrom, ect... i had one complete and working with xp on it, then i had two left, one not working with some parts, and one working with no parts, The good one sold for almost 300$(no joke), the junkers(incomplete, notworking) fsold for 80$/per!

There is actually quite a market for old lappys like that, especially if the battery still works, and it has the charger.

If you want to keep it, i would:

1. put itunes on it.

2. attatch it to the wall in your living room.

3. put itunes on it.

4. put itunes on your main computer.

5. If you have a network, share you itunes music from you main comp.

6. access it from the lappy

7. Viola--you haev a nifty jukebox for partys and stuff.

(i did this too, with an old IBM with similar stats)

And as far as these dudes offering you 10-30$ i would headbutt them, scince now headbutting something sounds awfully fun..

I just sold an old laptop on ebay. Of course, it has a little better specs then yours does, but it sold for 87 bucks + 20 for shipping. It didnt have the AC adapter or the hard drive. Give it a shot.

Heres the link to the one I sold.
