Old IBM Laptops

At work yesterday they were throwing out some old laptops (we're talking 10 years ago) and I asked our admin guy if I could have them. So I am now the proud owner of 2 more IBM laptops (I have a T23) .... a 350p and a 720p. These are amazing laptops .... they have 4 megs of RAM, I've yet to figure out how fast the processor is (it's running Win 3.1) BUT they have touchscreens and they touchscreens rotate kind of like the Acer table pc. They seem pretty popular at the time, so I was wondering if anyone on these boards had one and what they did with it. I'm thinking of setting it up w/ linux and using it for web-browsing (I could put it in a wall and use it like a touch-screen console) but I am gonna have a hard time trying to find the touchscreen drivers for it.
 
Thanks ... I was also thinking of running linux w/some slackware distribution then writing a recipe program that holds all of my recipes in it. That way I can leave it in the kitchen and use it as a touch-screen recipe lookup.
