I bought a used Sega Dreamcast at my local EBGames recently. One awesome thing about the Dreamcast, it was the first console system with online capabilities. However, if you have DSL (like I do) and you don't have a Dreamcast Broadband Adaptor (and trust me, you will never find one), you're a bit out of luck... or are you? [UPDATE INSIDE]

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!

If you're like me, you might still have an older LaserWriter or StyleWriter laying around, and might have problems using them on newer Macs.
