What Can You Still Do With A Pentium III Laptop In 2020?

Originally recorded January 24, 2020.

Many people think that when their computer can't any longer play YouTube videos, go on Facebook, or even just runs slow, they call them obsolete and buy a new computer, only to have the same thing happen in short order.

Older computers are NEVER obsolete. Most times a computer (even an el-cheapo) can still be usable for several years. It may not be the fastest, but it can get the job done. Oftentimes the machines are overrun by viruses or spyware.

But there are a lot of people out there that legitimately have an old computer that served them well, but it really did grow "long in the tooth" and really may not be able to handle today's Internet and applications. But that STILL doesn't make that machine obsolete.

In this video we will take a look at a computer from 1998 or so, and show a few tasks that can still be performed by it, 22 years later.

If an old computer no longer can handle today's applications, it may still be able to handle yesterday's applications with ease, and that is why old computers are never obsolete. You don't take dear old Grandma Sally and put her out to pasture, she might still make the best chicken soup you ever had. She may be old, but in no way obsolete. And sadly, after she's gone, nobody will ever be able to duplicate or improve on the soup, only come up with a similar version that's never quite as good. Old computers are NEVER obsolete!
