what to do?: extra laptop
So, I have an extra laptop laying around that I dont use at all... It is an IBM laptop running XP professional @ 1.5 GHz(intel) and 1gb of ram with 40 gb hd.
I am looking for anything to do with it. It can be wacky and stupid or useful or creative. It can be installing cool apps to change stuff or anything like that.
So, whatcha got?Proud MMi Retired Moderator.

Hmm well first you need a bottle of baby oil and a stripper named Candy... Them you take the oil and squirt it all over. Hmmmm never mind...That was my thoughts on a different request.. I’ll have to think on THIS one...

A stripper named candy from over the internet? Or, I can just do that on one of the computers I do use and delete the history to keep away from those nosey people..
Still open for suggestions everybody...Proud MMi Retired Moderator.

Stick LEO on it and paint it white, grab an apple sticker from an ipod box, then sell it in the ghetto.

haha.. that is a good idea. But I would rather not get hunted down and shot up after they realized it was a fake.

I suggest blowing it up.
Or you can put it to use
Your pick of course.
I wouldn't pick the obvious one

Thanks, just send me a PM for my address.
Oh and could you please not use packing peanuts and use bubble wrap?
Could you send me a mouse too, an optical one while you're at it.
You're the best, I'll be waiting by my mailbox
Thanks,
Matt
