OLD COMPUTERS

Post by wini » Mon May 14, 2007 9:53 am

Today I set up my 12 year old computer which still has Windows 95 on it.
I never had any problems with it, it never crashed or had any viruses etc.
I only resurrected it to see if there was anything still on it I wanted to keep.
What do you do with old computers??
It could be useful to someone I suppose as a stand alone.Any ideas. Or, where do I get rid of it.

Hi Wini,

I just Googled "old computers for africa" and a whole host of results came up.

There seem to be a lot of schemes you'd be able to choose from.
