That was my only computer for like 10 years!! It once survived a fall out of the boot of a moving car with barely a scratch. I finally replaced it when my overwatch team started asking who was running a hairdryer during every game... I say replaced, I still have it. Boyfriend's trying to persuade me to get Ubuntu on it so I can code in coffee shops like a coolguy. But it's so heavy...

@chellski27 I think taking one of these to a coffee shop might be a bit of a hassle, they weigh only slightly more than Venus, but I can tell you the one from 2005 has played nice so far with Ubuntu Server.
Dropped out of a moving car? How'd that happen?
I was supposed to be asleep four hours ago. But I have to say, screwing around with linux distros on antiquated machines I've acquired over the past two years is much more fun. The oldest computer I have with me today is actually the most recent addition to my collection: an HP Pavillion from 2002. It's got a Pentium 4 2.6, and is currently still running XP, though not for long. Thinking of turning it into a little cloud/web server for entertainment purposes.
I might just harvest the hard drives from it and put them into the other Pavillion I have (it's about 3 years younger) to have more storage in one device. Maybe I'll make them both separate servers, one for cloud, one for web hosting. We'll see.
Sorry for the ramble, I usually ramble to my girlfriend, but she's asleep, so I figured I'd dump it here.
Back to doing research.
