I've got a Samsung Sens 810 notebook (Pentium 133) that just won't die so I'm trying to figure out what I can do with it. It had Windows 95 on it originally, but I added DSL about a year ago (since it doesn't have a bootable CD, USB, modem or network connection installing DSL was pretty challenging) and it's been sitting in the closet every since. Since it still works, I really don't want to get rid of it, but without a network connection I don't know what I can do with it.

I'm a multimedia/simulations developer and I wondered if maybe I can use it for a simple kiosk of sorts? Do you know if Flash would work on this machine? I know there's a Flash plugin for Firefox and Linux, but that might be more than this machine can handle, do you think?

I guess I could use straight HTML and simple slide-show graphics but wondered if anyone here knew of anything else I could use? I was also thinking of modding the case so it doesn't look so much like an ancient notebook, any ideas?

Thanks!
