Computer Graveyard

I just can't find a way to "deep six" my old computers. I finally inventoried the computers purchased since 2002 (some for Susan's business). Three desktops and five (yes 5) laptops.

Type-Memory- Hard Drive-- Processor--Oper. Sys
LH POS Desktop --2 Gig --75 Gig --Pentium 4 2.4Ghz --XP
LH DellGX260-- 1 Gig-- 75 Gig --Pentium 4 2.0Ghz --XP
HP Pavilion 170 --1 Gig-- 75 Gig-- Pentium 4 2.4 Ghz-- XP
Dell Laptop SDW -- 1.25 Gig -- 80 Gig-- Pentium Mobile 1.4 Ghz-- XP
Presario 1500 Lap --.512 Gig --40 Gig --Pentium 4 2.2Ghz --XP
Presario 2100 --.512 Gig-- 40 Gig --AMD MobileXP2500 1.86Ghz-- XP
Acer 5315 --2 Gig--40 Gig--Intel Celeron 530 1.73Ghz -- Vista (32)
Presario 2310US --2 Gig --150 Gig -- AMD Turion 64X2 1.6 Ghz-- Vista (32)

So I asked E.W. what to do with all these old computers? "GET RID OF THEM" was his response. "You'll spend more time trying to get them to work than it's worth".

Well Ed - you are correct. I just searched on the word computer in my brief history of blogging and the history (which never lies) is true - too much wasted time trying to get them to work.

All this was precipitated by my recent purchase of a 720p computer camera for near HD quality Skype-ing. It requires 2Gig and 2.5Ghz processor - ugh! Only one computer even comes close and in my experience you need more that what the box states as minimum.

Will I put these computers in the graveyard? Stay tuned :)
