I need to figure out something to do with my old Thinkpad.

Machine still works but it's 10 years old, runs Win XP Pro, and battery is dead.

I threw Linux Mint on our old Macbook, works awesomely. -- nm - spamlet Feb 3, 08:44 2
- I don't know Linux at all. I guess I could use it as a learning opportunity. -- nm - sycor Feb 3, 08:45 1
  - Me neither which is why Mint is perfect. They've made it very easy. - spamlet Feb 3, 08:47
It should think of something for you. -- nm - Spawn Feb 3, 08:36 1
- Well, maybe the think for itself part of the thinkpad is broken because it isn't giving me any ideas. -- nm - sycor Feb 3, 08:38
see my link on B2 about the mirror :) -- nm - oblique Feb 3, 08:25 3
- Would a 10 year old laptop monitor work for that? I'd be willing try to but don't want to waste my time if it will look like crap. - sycor Feb 3, 08:27 2
  - the display being presented is pretty rudimentary (think: widgets). The monitor quality would likely not be any issue -- nm - oblique Feb 3, 08:30 1
    - Interesting. Maybe I'll add this to my list of projects. Of course I'd first have to teach myself some coding I guess. -- nm - sycor Feb 3, 08:37
