If the broken one isn't too old, you can always use it as a pocket PC. I have one that does nothing but music in my shop and run my engine tuning software, and another that I may use as a built-in PC for inside the habitat or cab. I've used them in flight simulator builds, all kinds of stuff (I was a systems admin for 20 years so I was always getting the broken stuff). You can either disable the latch that shut the laptop off when closed (and use a standard keyboard and monitor) or remove the laptop lid/display all together if you want to retain the built-in keyboard).
This old Vista machine is not good for much: my banking app will not even talk to it. However, its a fine place to store 10,000+ pages of TMs.If the broken one isn't too old, you can always use it as a pocket PC.

Heh, Vista was only surpassed by Millennium in terms of suck. But yes, great for opening pdfs.This old Vista machine is not good for much: my banking app will not even talk to it. However, its a fine place to store 10,000+ pages of TMs.
just replace with one of the light versions of Linux and your good to go for another 5-10 years ..... and be better off... maybe even better off that Win 10Heh, Vista was only surpassed by Millennium in terms of suck. But yes, great for opening pdfs.

Mission-specific.
Older CPU and RAM can choke on modern software and Internet sites. But yes you can do a lot with an old Linux box. I wouldn't say better off due to the hardware antiquity. The physical components of a 15 y/o PC simply don't talk to each other or process data anywhere near the speed of a cheapo Walmart laptop today.
But as I said, it's mission-specific. There are still some low-requirement tasks it can perform until the day it dies.
Grok is more or less "a thorough understanding".Yeah....GROK?
Thinking how much easier it will be to not have to stretch a air line or those times when you have no air line...What a tool
Yep.For the air, I got an adapter to hook to the glad hand once upon a time. I guess it's the same idea?
I be educated on grok..new one for this old man...air is plenty nice..but this battery power wonder is the sheismicGrok is more or less "a thorough understanding".
