I doubt I can even upgrade it... I've been trying to get FreeBSD on it for a while with no luck... The CD can never boot...

Already use my iBook for that!

Maybe its some kind of virus... I doubt Microsoft would do that...

Oil is an insulator not a conductor of electricity. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My bad... OK, guys, quit fooling around with oil computers... What can I do with this **** laptop!? NNTP server, IRC server, Mail server...?

Yeah, I saw that one too... But I don't really want to submerge anything in oil... Too greasy...

How is that oil computer not short circuiting? I mean, the **** power supply is in there!!!!

You should install SP2 (the first one). spcrc1 is Release Candidate 1. sp2rc2 is Release Candidate 2.

Where'd you get these?

Are you OK?

Same... Better call xper for help! XPER, COME HELP US!!!

OK, I just took it out and it seems that the HD is 1.34GB, there IS 32MB of RAM, and it looks like the processor is 150MHz... It won't boot any Windows 2000 CDs or Windows XP CDs that I have... It always gives me "CDBOOT: Cannot find NTLDR", but I know the CDs are perfectly fine. It has one of those swappable CD-ROM and Floppy drives and has two PCMCIA slots and 2 IR ports!

OK, seriously guys, I want to put this laptop to good use... I already have the following: - Printer Server - Firewall - Web Server - FTP Server What can I do with it?

You'd be better off buying a brand new laptop if you wanted me to ship this thing across the Atlantic... It weighs about 5-10 pounds!!

What kind of firewall are you running right now? With Smoothwall, you'll never need a software firewall or anything else running. That laptop could save you and your family some resources on the rest of your computers... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm running exactly that! That's why I said I don't need another one!

Yeah, I forgot to mention that... I do have a PCMCIA ethernet card for it! I don't really want another firewall...

Hey guys, I've had an old NEC laptop lying around for the past few months now... Everything works but the battery, but that's OK. I was wondering what I should use it for since it has a processor between 160MHz and 233MHz (can't remember) and about 32MB of RAM. I have a web server and an FTP server already, so I don't really need any more of them. The only OS I've had it run is Windows 98. It refuses to boot the CD of any other newer version of Windows (nLited or not). I'm thinking of putting Linux on it and using it as some kind of server. You guys have any suggestions for it? Anything is appreciated!

Have a great one, Crispy Chicken!

Dude, its nice and all, but it would be even better if there weren't any frames! Just some advice for you... B)

I just got myself a Pioneer DVR-109! I haven't had a problem with it since! I've burned quite a few DVDs and haven't had one single coaster due to a problem with the burner! Just make sure you use an 80-pin IDE cable to obtain the best speeds from your burner!

Nice find!

Yup, there's one at Marché Central and I think there's going to be one opening in the East end of Montreal as well...
