Yeah my old laptop (IBM Thinkpad 600) has a broken screen so I am going to give it to my daughter.
So since giving someone a laptop with a broken screen is pretty cheesy I have decided I am going to remove the screen from the laptop and have it run as a self contained desktop with an external monitor.
Since she is 12 now and in junior high she needs a computer for some of her work and although its not a screaming fast comp it will get the job done.
Just thought I would share
