You will regret getting rid of it. It is a small form factor that is easily stored. If anything you will look back later and marvel at all the freedom we had.

“You could just plug into the internet with this?”, “You say you could just download code and run it? Without government certification? What? You even wrote your own code?? How did you circumvent the Trusted Computing check? Oh.. right, you could do whatever. Wild times. Dangerous times.”
- rektide 4y agoI still have every laptop I've owned & I don't know why (fujtisu p1120 (what a badass machine), some msi core2duo (p951 or something), a msi gx66, a dell venue 11 pro, and my current Samsung book 12. Oh and I bought a Sony Vaio P way way after the fact for like $130, as a potential p1120 refresh- neat ass system. Almost two decades of gear. Some very well stickered, the Dell & GX not so much. I think you're onto something about size. It's a factor. Still, I feel real shame for having not gotten rid of more machines. I have gotten rid of old desktops at least.

- rektide 4y agoI did get my parents to throw out the Gateway 2000 full tower that had been sitting on the porch. I bought a p166 /w mmx from a paper route. Then eventually put a legendary Abit BP6 in it. Took me at least 18mo to get the second Celeron cpu for it. Served them for a real long time as an eventual hand me down. Alas I had though I'd left them with more memory so it was still like 32mb of ram for a long long time, just feel so bad about that. Sat on the porch & served as a coffee table for a long long while. I did ask them to get rid of it & now it's gone. I did take a photo or seven first.
