computer question
 

have an 5-6 year old desk top. trash it or what?

If it's junk I'd just take it to a local recycle facility.

If it works you could donate it to a thrift, or sometimes groups will take old computer gear to refurb for charity.

But if you've stored personal data on it you may want to drill a hold in the hard drive to prevent any data theft.

thanks spence. I think the kids used this one for games etc...I make a few calls. appreciate it.

i'm still running a 96 box
 

pentium 2

i have the new one sitting next to it...

sometimes i need two @ once....

if it runs still, let someone have it...

they make ya pay to dispose of it now...

the monitor is considered hazardous waste.

thanks!-

If the kids are young enough, download edbuntu - it is a lightwieght Linux distribution geared for kids and learning....

Pretty cool...

Otherwise, recycling center
