Use for an old laptop
 

I have an old laptop that has about 128mb ram, a CD-ROM drive, 16-bit PCMCIA slot, and about a 20gb HD irrc (I'm not sure about the other specs, besides that fact that it's an intel cpu). Is there something productive I can still use it for?

what do you want to do with it?

more interesting ideas:
- Convert it to a home server
- Convert its LCD into a Stand-Alone Monitor
- Salvage an external backup drive from it
- Extend your wireless coverage

The Digital Photo frame is not a bad idea at all. Thanks ;)
