Bring out your dead....PCs...

I'm often amazed at the amount of junk that we accumulate at home.
I'm one of the first to admit that I don't throw things away easily, but there are some things that you always think you'll find a use for (at some point in time).

But old computers? Will we really ever use them again?
My father-in-law called last night to see if there was anything out of his old computer we should keep (this is an Intel Pentium 133Mhz box with 48MB RAM and a 2GB hard disk!).
Technology has become so cheaply available at ever increasing quantities & Mhz that we wouldn't even consider using the 'old stuff'. What worries me is that there are millions more machines out there sitting in people's attics/lofts that are sitting there gathering dust whilst the owner works out whether they will be usable ever again.

And I'm sure this problem will only get worse.
