What yo do with old T4X Machines.

[Thinkpad4by3]

I have some old Thinkpads. What do you use them for? I don't see them as anything of decent for web browsing with all the javascript now adays. Also, what os do you use. I have so many sitting around with no use.

And no, using a T42 to play this gif 24/7 isnt an acceptable use ->

One can dedicate an old T42, paired with Port Replicator II and permanently connected to LCD projector,
specialised in showing Power Point Slide presentations from different guest speakers (stored on their own USB thumbdrives).

This is especially useful in church & charity settings!

They are still quite usable for word-processing/text editing.... Getiing a faster machine does enable you to type any faster

They are reasonable machines for doing testing on. It's great having a PXE server so that you can check out disk without having to boot up from local media.

depends on what specs of T42 you have. Forget about any modern use if you have the Radeon 7500 and worse than Pentium M 735. My maxed out T43p can still be used for modern apps and Windows 10. Though Windows 10 isn't an option on T42, Windows 7 is still usable on T42 and aero works with the 9600 variant and FireGL variant.
