2017-05-22 Someone asked in the Debianforum what to do with a ``(really) old laptop''. My first thought was that it'd be a 486 notebook or the like. But what he described as his really old laptop was more like my main work notebook. 8-O [0] I have a single-core 1.6 GHz Pentium M with 2 GB RAM and a CF card instead of a harddrive. Ironically, it responds much quicker than the computer at work, which is a quad-core with 3.6 GHz each and 8 GB RAM. Admittingly that one has Windows installed, but even in the Unix world, I'm still waiting to see a system with noticably better reaction times than my really old notebook. (Later I noticed that a Pentium M and a Pentium4 M have pretty different power levels. Thus my computer is not as ``(really) old'' as the one written about -- it is just ``old''.)
