TheNeil Report post Posted August 28, 2006 I only hope that the grieving process went well - it's never easy to say goodbye to a beloved PC, which is probably why I'm running out of space in my office Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canopus Report post Posted August 28, 2006 I have an original IBM AT that is more than 20 years old. It will probably outlast any modern PC because it was built to survive WWIII. http://www.old-computers.com/museum/comput...?st=1&c=185 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jen Report post Posted August 28, 2006 Niki, Make sure the hard drive has been destroyed because old broken computers have been sent abroad and private information such as bank details have been taken off the hard drives. Jen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
