What to do with an old laptop?

I've come upon an old laptop.

From what I gather, its a Toshiba Satellite 110CS (PA1224U-S2A) PC Notebook. Specifications can be found here.

It has about the HD space of a CD. I think it has about 16MB of ram...100MHz Pentium Processor. Currently its running Win 95. The floppy drive may not work (perhaps I can install one myself), and some of the keys don't work, either (but there is a PS/2 port on the back).

It has no CD-ROM, USB, or ethernet ports on it. It has a printer, serial.

I hate to see it go to waste. So I would like to know, what would people do with this machine? The only way to connect it to the internet seems to be through a 56k modem (via com port).

Let me know what you would do! Thanks.
 
I would give it to charity.
You might be able to sell it. I know of people who use cheap laptops to talk their cars computers and do updates, etc. Also, some people use cheap ones for flashing embedded devices, etc.
