Well, we've had an old pc lying about doing absolutely nothing for the best part of 5yrs now and have decided it's time to get rid.
It's a P120, with a SB soundcard, not sure how much memory and a 15"Screen (the actual picture has come in a bit so its more like a 12" or something like that).
I dont really want to throw it away as a fair bit of money was spent on it some time ago. I remember hearing about an organisation that accepts pc's as donations and sends them to developing countries where it can be used to teach people how to use them.
Does anyone have a link to them or have any suggestions what I can do with it.
Cheers!
Ed

If you put a modem in there (would need to be hw though) there would still be demand for it, should get somewhere near £100 for it. Plenty of people want something cheap that can be used for the Internet and basic office apps ... esp if it's a first computer so it doesn't matter if they (or their children) mess things up.
Otherwise I'd suggest giving it to a local charity or school yourself, that way you know someone isn't making a few quid out of your generosity. I would secure erase the HD, just to be sure but I doubt anybody would be bothered in trying to recover stuff, a format and/or FDISK should be all you need to do, also rem any sw (inc OS) should be legitimate with correct paperwork. You could alsways give Linux a spin?
