Apple Powerbook 5300cs

Intel is for wussies. The 100Mhz PowerPC 603e is where it's at.

This laptop was unceremoniously dumped in the random-crap-pile outside my cube. It's ten years old, running System 7.5, has a staggering 24Mb of RAM, and a whopping 500Mb hard drive. Anyone got suggestions for what I can use it for?

To take full advantage of Flickr, you should use a JavaScript-enabled browser and
install the latest version of the Macromedia Flash Player.

You could probably bump it up to System 9 and put an early iTunes on there, then toss the lot in your car and hook it up to the CD changer. (ppclinux might be another valid option.)

Did I mention that it doesn't have a CD-ROM drive? Just a 3.5" floppy.

Hmm. Yank out the hard disk (Apple had switched to IDE by then, right?) and install Linux onto it elsewhere?
