I have a 90 MHz laptop, 24 MB of memory, 750 MB hard drive. No CD drive, and I can't boot from the floppy. Battery holds some charge, though how much is unknown. Parallel, serial, VGA, PS/2, IR, RCA, and game/midi dongle ports, and one for some variety of SCSI. 32-bit PC card slot. Standard three sound jacks. 12" color LCD.
The current install of Win '98 is frelled. If I want to, I can stick the hard drive in another computer and put an OS on it. However, I have no reason to do that at present. Can anyone give me one? If not, can you come up with anything cool to do with the components?

If you feel like going on a destructive binge, just smash a mallet on top of it.

Considering you could probably pick up a second hand laptop of similar specs for about a tenner, I wouldn't bother. The time invested would be better spent learning how to breakdance.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

You could rip out the LCD panel and build your own projector with it. That is, if you can find the thing's pinout schematic somewhere.
(Learning how to breakdance might be less of a hassle, though.)

I read something about turning an old laptop into an interactive picture frame. Something to hang on the wall. Maybe that would be interesting for an old color laptop like yours.

You have enough computing power there to design a rocket that can go to the moon. Get to it.

You can always put it on Ebay as an "Advanced Set Piece From the Star Trek TV Show: Enterprise". Seeing how things go there, you would probably make enought to buy a nice new 64 bit Desktop system.

Use it as a server for porn or MP3 files... that or just use it a set decoration for your place.
Seriously though, I'd donate it to an organization like Goodwill or send it to Latin American to a school that needs it.

Compatibility mode. Don't make me say it again.
