A Compac nx6110. I don't know what to think having used Macs my whole microprocessin' life (since 85 actually) and that I make my living by one (art director). I'm surely not looking a gift horse in the mouth, and of course we can get some use out of it but, man... this is biblical for me. I literally have less than an hour of flying time on PCs! Now where'd I put that little Darth Vader emoticon...

Man, it's only a computer it's not going to try to kill you in your sleep. You could sell it, try to play games on it, run some Windows only software on it, run linux on it, give it to someone who needs a computer etc.

I'll give you $5.00 to videotape her destroying it with a sledgehammer.

Anyone want to add to my ante? Let's get a pot going.
