New Old Netbook

“Why should I drop fifteen hundred dollars on a new computer
that Microsoft would just invalidate in a few years? That’s not
what computers are about for me. For me, computers are about
solving problems and learning new things. I only want to spend
money when my needs outpace the computer’s abilities.

“So I thought, why should I buy one of these underpowered little
netbook computers when I already have one of my own? Why can’t I
revive the Z505, buy a new battery, and install Linux on there? So
I made a plan: If I could get a decent operating system on there,
I’d buy a new battery and make it my new “bus warrior”
netbook.”
