Kids, whether rich or poor, want the latest and greatest. They will
not be satisfied with someone's hand-me-downs.
A local volunteer group has a list of over 40 kids waiting for _ANY_
used computer they can get. They are trying to find enough parts to
catch up before Christmas day. They said most of the computers are Win
98, with 2 GB hard drives.
I have two Athlon PCs, from a deceased estate, that I can't give away.
My father had a 5-year-old 68cm LG TV, with no history of faults, that
he couldn't give away (in the end I sold it for AU$50). I have a
working dish washer that nobody wants, and a computer desk and hutch,
in excellent condition, that I'll have to dump because I already have
two. I take electronic gear to the Salvation Army, but I suspect most
of it ends up in the trash. In fact they once told me that no-one
wants "old" stuff. Nowadays I just cannibalise old TVs, etc for parts.
BTW, here's a use for old floppy diskettes:
