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

Hi Jim

That is typically also what the charity groups do. And donate them as part of some development project in some country with little or no funds.

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.
