Uh, its ok i guess. You can web-browse on it, or play really old school games like side scrollers, but that's pretty much it.

How about 42.zip?

Rule 42:

The general rule that you should always bring a towel just in case you do something stupid so at least people will say "Hey that guy/gal really knows where their towel is". Coincidentally this is also the meaning of life and all questions because all answers can be deprived from 42 an example of this would be: How many minutes dose it take to make a marshmallow peep answer 42 because 4+2=6 and it takes 6 minuets to make. Part of the 100+ general rules of the internet.
