What to do with Outmoded Boys Toys ?
On my desk sits an Acer Aspire one netbook, early version running Linux/Fedora. Apart from an utterly abysmal short battery life (and it's been that way since new) the device is perfect.
Trouble is, I have no use for it. Even my HTC smartphone does more things, and does them better, faster and more easily.
It's taking up space and it annoyes me, since I haven't a use for it and feel I should have.
I can't give it away to some "deserving child from a poor family" because frankly, even here in cash-strapped Spain (so they tell me) and financially bust Catalunia (so they tell me), every child I know has an iPad or whatever. Some have two.
So this is a question for Computer Issues: what to do with stuff that still works perfectly but has been passed over by speeding technology ?
Oh and I also have a Palm PDA - same thing applies. I can use it for e-mails but it's more complex and slower than Giggle's Android. No longer needed.....
So ?
P.S. before someone takes the p*ss - it's the Toys that are Outmoded, not the Boys !
