This is a question DIY Techno-hacks

Old hard drive platters make wonderfully good drinks coasters - they look dead smart and expensive and you've stopped people reading your old data into the bargain.

Have you taped all your remotes together, peep-show-style? Have you wired your doorbell to the toilet? What enterprising DIY have you done with technology?

Extra points for using sellotape rather than solder.

more nitpicking...
but a P120 system with even a tiny amount of RAM should have had more than enough juice to run Win95 at a respectable speed. The first time I encountered the new and shiny wonders of Win95 was on a very early 75MHz P1 with 8mb RAM... one of those Packard Bellend things. And it ran fine, getting me incurably addicted to Descent in the process.
