Never threw away your old PC

You know, hubby is the one who doesn’t closely follow up the IT development.
Don’t be surprise if he is the one using the oldest PC among the bloggers
I know.
Tell you, the notebook he is using for internet surfing is over 5 years old, it is a Compaq Presario with 1.8GHz P4 processor, 20Gb HDD, 256Mb RAM, TFT LCD screen. No Wifi and Bluetooth connectivity, no burner and no DVD reader as well and only 2 USB port available.
He has another PC which is 12 years old now. It is an Acer with Cyrix x686 233 MHz processor (some of you may not hear of this processor at all), 128Mb RAM, 2 GB HDD, No USB port at all. It is running on Window 95 platform (before that was running on Window 3.11 + DOS 6.0). He is still using it for some offline computing activities. Recently he turns the PC becomes his backup storage server with 2×60G HDD.
He really can live with the old technology, if you have any unused old PC keep in the store and don’t how to dispose, may be you can pass it down to me and I pass to him! LOL
