hardware recycling

[paul sutton]

Not sure what a  AMD k6/2 500  is equivilent to  in terms of intel  
hardware ( I am thinking p2 ) but I took my old one down the rugby club, 
it's running windows 98, and  has 256 mbof ram,  and i installed open 
office , connected my old printer (which is in bad shape),  however the 
purpose I am using it for it works great,  ok a bit slow, but I am used 
to a Duron 1600 with 1gb ram,  but i just use it to type stuff out for 
people at the club.

Old hardware is still perfectly usable,  it just depends on what you 
want to use it for,  I have a p3 900 with 256 ram,  (laptop) running 
debian,  in fact it runs it extremely well,   so again it's older 
hardware but for doing what I do it works and that all that matters,  as 
someone said faster hardware does not mean I will get my work done any 
quicker.

I am sure there are lots of people out there who would apreciate the 
older hardware, 

paul
