There are quite a few things you could do with it,

Use it as a digital photo frame/ to store photos
Use it to stream music
If you go to college or Uni you could use a notes app and use it to take notes instead of writing on a refill pad

There are loads of things you can do... Just experiment

I set it up so Its like a mobile all-in-one PC, :)
although I don't go to college.

Please note I am running windows XP, there aren't apps like what you see in commercial tablets. this runs regular desktop applications like VLC, or games like portal

I might give my mom the one I'm using now and use the tablet as my main computer, seems worth a shot since it was originally a laptop.

(I hope she wasn't thinking I was giving her the tablet, I worked hard on it so I could do gaming on it. D: )

It was made with a Toshiba Satellite A25

CPU: Pentium 4 @ 2.66 ghz 2.66 ghz
RAM: 480 mb DDR
HDD: 40 gb

I'm using an on screen keyboard until I can actually buy one, typing takes some time. :P

I'm going to upgrade my RAM to 1gb and probably get a new hard rive.

How hard was it to install a touch screen?

there is no touch screen, although having one would be nice.

for now its just an All-in-one PC
