This is a very good ComputerWorld article for those of you who own aging laptops and are also do-it-yourselfers (DIY). Even if you are not a DIY, I think all laptop owners will find this article interesting.
For what it's worth (FWIW), I installed Ubuntu on an aging laptop and was very impressed. It is free and installed easily. It uses very little of your aging system's precious resources. If all you want to do is web browsing and e-mail, then you should consider Ubuntu for your aging laptop. This is covered in some detail in this ComputerWorld article. I should add that Ubuntu comes with Open Office already installed, so the machine is also equipped to do word processing, spreadsheets, etc. You can learn more about Open Office here: http://www.openoffice.org/
