It's literally just "click that Chrome icon, then use the internet like you would on Windows".

Of course I had to download and install it for her, but that's a one-time thing

If you're just browsing internet, yeah, any linux distro can do it.

I gave my mum an old netbook I got in the netbook craze days

Put mint on it

She kept asking for Windows

Fucking casual

Windows would kill that poor netbook

Is it one of those Atom-powered netbooks?

Yeah it wouldn't allow going past 7

Screen not high enough res

I've still got one of them laying around. It's surprisingly decent with Chrome OS

Microsoft put a limit on that with 8

Trying to force kill netbooks

Talking about chinkputers, I was thinking about getting a LGA1366 rig with a 6cores xeon.

This was mine

Toshiba nb200

Ohshit, it looks chunky.

I mean, kinda inflated.

Xeons are nice

Obviously not thinking about overclocking, that would be stupid with a xeon.

Tfw always see old PCs in salvation army and want to buy them up for projects

Le old man daily drivers

Ay

I have 3 olds laptops, one taken appart and I have no idea what to do with them.

One of them is dead, one has been taken appart and the last one have a single-core CPU.

So yeah, that's pretty much it.

You've gotta cannibalise those parts my man

I had a Toshiba Portege r700 that got zombied into another laptop

Thinking about making some monitors with the screens though, for some shit.

17" and 15" screen, 1600 x 900 both.

And a 11" screen, 1366 x 768

17" might make a nice mini mame cabinet

O

woops

I'm sorry, but why even bother? I've picked up monitors with the same resolution for free

If I could do so, that would be great. I live in a shitty area, there's only one computer/electronic shop here and it's the shitter.

Tfw friend wants to give me 3 broken 720p monitors, just a load of junk tbh

Finding stuff like this still working isn't easy.

I'm the tech graveyard man
