Question: What to do with a 7-year old computer? I have a computer system I built for my mother about seven years ago, back when Windows 98 was a big deal.  I figure it's about time to build her a new one, but what ought I do with the old one?  \n\nI can't even donate it to a school -- they say they don't need computers that old.\n\nAny ideas?

Answer: Make sure the hard drive is completely wiped clean -- no sense making personal information any more available than it is already -- and take it to a recycling center.\n\nUnfortunately (and I have had this same experience) it's trash now.\n\nIf you buy an Apple computer, they will recycle it for free!
