crappy lappy
so i've got this piece of crap laptop from 2000. it's an IMB stinkpad
the little tic-tak mouse/joustic shit thing in the middle is broken
the battery is completely dead
the monitor is fine though
it's 256MB ram, 500MHRZ processor, pentium 4
ANYWAY
i'm thinking i should do something with this, like anything. i'm not exactly sure, but does anybody have any ideas of how i could salvage this for something? i could use a project right now

I think that, thanks to some advice from my good friend chris martin, i'm going to mount it in my car and connect it to my stereo so i can play music/videos from it. all i gotta do is put some super fast linux on it so it can run at a tolerable speed

Update the BIOS, you can download it from the brand site.
I had a laptop like this, and it made a wonderful "hacktop"
