What To Do With Old Laptops?

Posted by kdawson on from the aside-from-warming-old-laps dept.

An anonymous reader writes "I've recently acquired a few old P2/P3 laptops. Most either work properly but are slow, or have various problems with power supplies and/or batteries. Attempting to sell them would probably earn less than the cost of shipping, so that's out of the question. I was hoping the Slashdot crowd could give me some ideas on what to do with these old computers. As somebody who already has ~10 computers lying around the house there is certainly no need for an additional computer to 'experiment' with, so I was hoping for some more creative suggestions."

    Hey wow, someone decided to be my ill-gotten doppelganger! I feel so relevant now... or maybe I need a dose of Pepto-Bismol.

    If your posting history is any indication, I should thank you in advance for not sullying my reputation.
