After a long hiatus, I've returned!
Basically, things have been incredibly slow around This Old Mac, as several months ago I sold my old PowerMac 9600, and my Quadra 605 with Linux project died after several failed attempts. Today, however, I recieved an old PowerBook 5300cs. This is an INCREDIBLY older PowerBook, it has a 10.4" Dual Scan monitor (ie, very bad), a 750 Megabyte hard drive, eight megs of RAM, and a 100Mhz processor. Frankly, I'm fairly stumped with what I should do with it right now. If anybody has any ideas, let me know!

Uhhh...eBay? Oh wait...prolly wouldn't sell. With more RAM it might run iTunes...but doubtful. :^D I have 1 that I put together from broken pieces at a place I worked & sent off to Apple for their recall. Came back like a brand new laptop. Just a slow brand new laptop. ;^) Good luck finding a use for it.

thanks max, i cant wait for john to poste more about it
Just do what I did when I was in the process of fixing my stepdad's PC for the 50th time--forget to unplug it when repairing it--its went pop, puffed out some smoke, and smelled really bad.
So he got another computer...Do you think I might have subconsciously intended to blow his PC? Hmmm.....muahahah!!!
