Everything.  Especially now that OpenOffice runs under Irix. 
Truthfully, I use this machine as my primary workstation for everything
I do.  Email, browsing, "office suite" stuff, learning Java, website
design, 3D hobby-ing, and so on.

If I found an inexpensive Origin 200 I'd use it as the primary
fileserver in the house.  But since I don't have one, everybody is
responsible for their own file storage and each workstation has it's own
bigass drive.
