What is one old piece of hardware you still refuse to throw away? I have an old Daewoo computer that still boots from an MS DOS floppy disk. I also have an Atom N455 netbook with 2 GB RAM and somehow that one is still alive too. I installed antiX on the netbook and now I keep finding small things to make it useful again. Old hardware is weird like that. Sometimes it becomes more fun after everyone else has already decided it is useless. 😀
What old machine are you still keeping alive?
