What to do with a spare laptop?
tug61granpa: I'm a neewbie to computing, old[63], on minimum wage , and not tech-savvy at all. However I've managed to install Mint Linux on 2 elderly pc's and Ubuntu on an early Asus eee. All can be downloaded for free quite quickly and easily. An installation disc for Mint costs £3.99 in the UK. After XP Linux is a joy to use, go on, have a go.
