First thing I'm gonna do with it is play with it for a while (like I have been since I got it this afternoon) and then reinstall XP Home that isn't the Dell speciality shit.
Next step is to get all my pictures/music uploaded to it from my desktop. Finally I can sit downstairs in the garage, smoke and listen to music.
Seriously though, with a few serial cables I can use it to program phone systems and voicemails at work.
Yes... it's a Dell, no I don't care about your opinions on Dell. My desktop has been problem free for the 2.5 years I've had it so far.
I basically got the bottom of the line. I figure I can upgrade it myself without paying the finance charges on the upgrades... I'm already planning on getting a gig of ram later on.
