Hi Matt, THe LC isnt a total piece of junk, they can be quite useful. (But then again, I say that about just about every Mac I come across). I tend to find my old software on eBay, but you sound like you have everything to cover basic operation already. First place to go is Jag's House website. He has a ton of software for older systems (including that poor little SE you have on the floor) and he will sell you a CD that I personally would be lost without. There is also Gamba's website, another excellent place, and Mac512's site. You can't go wrong at either place. :)
Your LC can take a ethernet card, if it doesnt already have one, and cannect to the net. I wouldn't suggest Web with it, but you CAN do IRC, FTP, and email with it just fine. And if you have a modem, you can make it into a nice little FAX. But to answer your question, head over to Jag's and take a look. :) > I was recently given a Mac LC, by a friend, after > his wife, and Educator, was unsuccessful in donating > it to a local school district.
