Thanks. That's also on my list.

I've got a couple of old XP models that I've set aside. Haven't been turned on in years. I've got some ancient ones on stage that do nothing but run my mp3 backing tracks or display words and/or music notation.

The problem with ThinkPads is they are built so well, they are outdated before they wear out. That's a good problem IMO.

I might pass them down to the stage, and as the ones I'm using on stage are early 2000 models, perhaps I'll try to play with Linux or something.

One of them needs a CMOS battery, which shouldn't be a problem. It seems to have died in storage.

I just don't want to waste them by throwing them out.
