I have an immaculate Olivetti Echos 150DM that my daughter had whilst at university - however, she preferred using the PCs in the university library.

I realise it is a bit feeble by modern standards (understatement) but I wondered if anyone knows of any niche demand for such a piece of equipment. It has the usual slide in CD drive and a carry case.

Any advice please - I hate throwing good stuff away when it could be what someone needs.

I'm using an old laptop as a firewall/router quite successfully, using IPCop. If you don't want to try that then try one of the Freecycle groups, someone will want it. If I get another buckshee laptop I plan to turn it into a web server.
