There is an easy way to sort out badly-formulated articles. Just let the reades decide if the article is: a) interesting b) well-written c) in the right column
or similar. So the majority of people who visit these sites wont have to worry about "bad-news":) Those articles that get downvoted get off the frontpage. This process repeats whenever an article is added and assures a high-quality.
It actually was the Laptop of my dad. It was an IBM 286 Laptop. I got it to run Win 3.1 (Linux wasnt a matter of discussion back then) One of the only programs I could run on it was Word 2.0 and it took minutes to start. Maybe you should define the term "low-end" a bit better. Or is there anyone who has an even older Laptop? Btw: This Laptop was the only electronic thing in my house that was affected by the Y2k but it still works.
