Chick, I think some of the laptops you have are nearly old enough to get
a driver's license, and I swear I've seen one old enough to drink at the
room party.  Maybe a hardware update is in order?  I picked up a new
ASUS eee PC for $250.  It can do cool things like run modern web
browsers and office applications.  Not that I don't do my word
processing in vi myself, just sayin' that you're probably investing more
energy in keeping these dinosaurs running than a new smaller machine
would cost.
