Used computers make great boat anchors.

I have a network. When I replace a computer I just leave it on my network and use it to run peripheral devices / and or store stuff on it.

Good suggestions, all, but if you think getting rid of an old computer is hard, how do you get rid on an old trash can?

You a*parent*ly don't have children. Kids are great dumping grounds! Mine have inherited computers, old cars, old clothes, shoes, etc., etc., etc......

I'm always telling JAGlady about a new "need" the kids have so I can upgrade!!
