  Actually I do have a place for them right now, it is perfect, small foot print,
and all of those other old delapadate laptops with a 1.5 to 2.5 gig hd. I am
developing something for them right now. For the sight impaired, a large screen
clock. Try and find a digital clock with 6 inch high letters. Recycle thos old
laptops as a digital clock.  Hmmmmmmm.
