What to do with this antique?

As part of normal business I regularly accept Trade Ins of older systems which I refurbish and then pass on to Big Brother. Today my new assistant accepted an old, I do mean old, Compaq Deskpro 386. 386 not being a model number but type of processor.

Surprisingly enough it runs well but the Hard Drive is only 60 MB. Once DOS 6 is installed there isn't a whole lot of room left. Seeing as how I wouldn't dare pass this antique on to some poor kid in need can anyone think of a practical use for it?

This laptop, hmm.

I got, or had one, it had a busted LCD screen. I don't think I got it anymore, ummm, actually I got it, I just mutalated it a few years back, but I do got the motherboard, and a 4 MB memory card.
I supose it still works, as with a busted lcd screen and no power supply, I don't know.;)

Linux NAT Firewall Router?

Start a new artificial reef in the Rideau Canal.

:D :D

There may be some museums around that might be interested in it.

Either C64 Emulator for the kids or Junk Art.

I hate to ask this question, but how much did he get on the trade-in?:D

I like Vernon Frazee's suggestion, it would be perfect for that, i don't think i could find any other use for it myself...

...but an "artificial reef " or "museum" does sound entertaining :D

Leurgy that was truly funny.
OilPatch: the client got $100 discount off of his new computer. My new assistant feeling rather embarassed about this offerred to pay out of his own pocket.

I can't say I'm terribly upset I'll let him set it up as a Linux firewall, call it training, and still be able to claim it as a business expense on taxes. It's just a lot easier to claim on taxes when these things are donated to charity. Besides now I have something to needle him about. :D

Might think of it this way,,,now you have a happy customer!? :D

Hey, I'l take the hdd controller card. :D

Sounds like a good place to shop! I got a old Zenith 286 laptop arounder here, and it still works, what discount would I get? :D

what about a Sharp Mz-100, it still has its original 5 pound (exaguration) battery still with it! :)

OoOoOhh! you may get a Big discount with that!:eek: :D

YES!
