Do you keep an old laptop just for 'old time's sake'?

[Rafael Mestdag]

I've got a pretty good desktop which can run almost any modern game out there. But I like to keep an old Core 2 Duo, 4GB DDR2, 500GB laptop just to use it and remember how things were back in the day.

I haven't come to the point of installing XP on it yet, I use Windows 7 32bits and i love using it for watching 720p videos on YT and playing old games and simply reminding myself of how these things were.

Do you do the same? What's your 'time machine' like?

I have multiple laptops I have some old, some newer (i.e. i7 19" Dell) they are store away, not being used. I have a personal laptop and a work laptop I use pretty much daily on top of a desktop. I have a older desktop core 2 q8200 that I have in my office to run music and do Office work on... I use them all in one way or another, the older laptops are mainly stored until in my line of work someone wants a older box to have an experiment run on it under xp, 7 or 8, I have multiple drives to slap into them already built to each laptop to permit quick testing.

I have my ThinkPad T40 which I think I purchased back in 2003 for something like $2,800. I has a Pentium M CPU and Radeon HD 7500m GPU.
