I just recently Aquired a PowerBook G3 Wallstreet
233mhz 32MB RAM, 2 CD-ROM Drives, Extra Battery, 2 AC Adapters and Zip Drive. I have no idea what to do with it. Its a nice laptop in great condition.
I got an extra stick of 128 ram around for it and a 10GB hard drive. I already got a MacBook so im at a loss on what to do with it

When you figure out what to do with it let me know. Mine has been sitting on a shelf for years.

seconded.
for a while I used it as an extra web browser but I don't have an airport card and the 50ft cat 5 cable was kind of annoying.

You three could send them to me...
No, I'm not being entirely facetious. I take "obsolete" macs and refurb them and give them to needy folks. I'm currently working on two PM 5500's, an original bondi blue imac, and a PM 7200/90 that I don't have a monitor for and have yet to verify is working.
Or, if you don't trust me, you could do the same thing wherever you're at. Contact a local school and see if their counseling department knows of any kids who are overachievers, college-bound, etc but who have financial hardships and offer them a laptop to take with them when they go to the University.

Trust no one.
Give them to a local charity to be auctioned off.

Put a truly gigantic HD in it, and use it for your itunes library.
