[dba-Tech] So what do you do with your old computer?

Ha ha ha... 

I usually just fix these old beater boxes up with a fresh coat of Ubuntu,
Open Office, Chromium/Firefox, Thunderbird(Mail) and Pidgin(MSN) and it good
for some student or neighbour for the next 5 years. ;-)

Of course there is always various PC haters clubs... ;-)

Hi Jim et al

If not too old - typically that means a CPU at 500+ MHz - you should be able
to donate it to charity. That's what we do.

Ha ha... I have many friends who would agree with him... I have a friend son
who made a video on "The 10 best uses for my PCs"; from boat anchors, door
stops, foot stools, target practice etc... I will see if he still has the
tape and post a link it here.
