In todays episode of “stuff I’ve found clearing out the office…. What the hell am I gonna do with this damn thing….”

A vintage Sony VAIO laptop on a wooden table with an external disc drive placed next to it.

A 20+ year old PCG-SR31K 🤯 complete with external CD-ROM drive….

@DaveyCraney

-- Puppy Linux if you can figure out the boot ROM www.makeuseof.com/tag/linux...

-- Picotron development. www.lexaloffle.com/picotron....

-- Pico8 development. www.lexaloffle.com/pico-8.ph...

-- Squeak/Smalltalk. squeak.org

-- mini NAS/backup for important files (non-media)

-- family calendar/reminder (release the hinge and mount it flat on a wall)

-- repurpose the screen as a Raspberry Pi display.

@Archimage ooh I like the idea of repurposing the screen actually. They’re not bad displays in these old Sonys 🤔

@DaveyCraney Glad to help. I always liked the old Vaios. Sony had the best displays for the day.
