First of all, if you think I posted this in the wrong community then feel free to point me to some other community where i can post this.

I recently moved to another house and found an old laptop i had when I was 10 while looking through some old stuff. It's an old Acer netbook, specs are

CPU: Intel Atom N2600, 1.6Ghz
RAM: 1GB, DDR3
Storage: 320GB HDD
Screen: 10.1" lcd, apparently it has a resolution of 1280x1024 according to the control panel but windows 7 won't let me go beyond 1024x600

I thought about installing linux on it, however I don't intend on using it for anything. I already have a good laptop and so does the rest of my family. The CPU is definetly too slow to do anything beyond simple text editing, and I'm sure it would explode if i tried going to the internet with it, so it's not really suitable for daily driving. Thing is, it still works, and I don't really feel like throwing it in the trash. Is there any possible use case for a machine like this? Can you suggest me some use cases for it?

You could probably estimate how much poop is in the rectum of the entire human race, the rate at which it is ejected, the amount remaining, and all of the subsequent products you could make out of said poo. Computers are very powerful, and I think that your computer could handle these data points.
