Ok, i have a very old Toshiba tecra that weighs a lot (lol). It has a cd-drive...a 2.1 gb hdd...and i think between 90 and 128 mbs of ram. Besides loading linux on this, what other interesting things could i do with it?

The reason i dont want to put linux on it is because i just put linux on a 900 mhz laptop and it runs very well. I want to do something different with the laptop. Maybe try to put an xbox, or a ps2 in the case? I really dont know though. Ideas?

p.s.- smashing it to bits doesnt count as an idea....

i thought about that. Turning it into a machine soley for playing Mame and other emulators. So far thatrs the best idea...lol, any other ideas anyone?

EDIT: Is there an OS just for Mame and emulators?

dos does the job if you want nes emulators just get the nesticle95 version for dos and then go on limewire and download the 700 some odd nes game package.
