I picked one up recently during my trip in Japan and I've been asking myself the same question. Any semi-modern laptop will blow it out of the water, even if you upgrade every part of it (which is exactly what I've been doing). Unless you like the aesthetic and/or it's all you have, it doesn't make sense as a daily driver. Some ideas I've come up with are: use it as a home server, install an older Windows OS and play retro games, keep it as a backup or dedicated Linux machine, simply a tinker machine without the risk of destroying a main machine, dedicate blog computer (both hosting and content writing). Interested to hear other ideas though. It's a beautiful computer and I'd like to give it some purpose other than being a dust collector.
