    Give it a guitar and put stars in it's eyes. lol

    Actually, if you have Vista on it or Windows XP MCE, you could get a remote for the computer unless you already have one and just hook it up to a TV.

    Now would you partition the hard drive or just put all the music in c:\music? I also hook this baby up to my HDTV and stream Hulu and watch TV shows.

    I don't need this laptop for my main computer. I am just trying to find a way of using this laptop.
