Re old computers

So some folk have many computers, and some have none. I have an old computer sitting in my drawer that needs fixing. I wonder how many geeks or non geeks have old dead or not so dead computers lying around. I used to work for Acer in Taiwan and they used to do part exchange deals. The engineers would build bitza computers. I wonder if smart guys could teach their students how to get dead computers working and then donate them to needy children. I noticed a web site that recycles old printers, it sells cheap ink as well. INK-HK.COM

An ex workmate lived in a very affluent area in Hong Kong. People would dump their unwanted computers. She would take a screwdriver and take the hard disk, the price was right as well !
