Certainly, that could be done. A lot of hardware can still run modern Linux.
I'll bring each CentOS version in case anyone needs some old-school Red
Hat love (as well as the brand-spanking new discs).
Maybe someone could bring in the older Ubuntu LTS's?
John could head up the Slack support :-P

Hey, that's a good idea: data migration day at CLUG. People can
bring their old computers to the meeting, and we'll try to backup
the data and bring it into the new decade. I've got an external
USB to IDE adaptor and a DVD burner that can be plugged into it.

Perhaps there'll be some new insights as to what's wrong with it;
I have blank DVDs. I can't bring a monitor though because
I'll be taking
the C-train and my hands will be full.

I'll bring my old computer on the 6th. Will I need to
bring a monitor?
One dvd can burn all I need.
I think I'm going to have to buy one of these external
HDD => USB dongles.

If you only have 1 DVDs worth of stuff, why not just bring
the old HDD
and one of us can copy those files from the HDD to a DVD
and you can go
home with that. Beats lugging a whole computer around.
Otherwise, I can bring an LCD Monitor and I've got some
blank DVDs that
need to used up too.
Let me know by the 5th what you need and I'll bring it
with me on the
6th.
Cheers,
J.J.
