Old Mac, New Tricks
Here's a 2001 article from Macworld on increasing the usefulness of that vintage Apple computer!
It begins:
"Remember that old Power Mac 7500 you banished to the attic when you bought your speedy new G4 last year? Granted, it's not the lightning-fast Windows killer it used to be, but that doesn't mean it's ready for the junk pile. If you find the right job for it, you can still get plenty of use out of your old Mac friend, often with only a small investment in hardware, software, or both."
