I gave my old Power Tower 180 w/Apple 300mhz G3 card to a local church
charity manned by two members of the Cowtown Mac Owners Group. They
configure them and give to Mexican Grade schoolers with the stipulation
that they have to teach their mother to use it. Then the mother must
write them a "thank you" letter in ENGLISH on the machine.
I'm keeping the Two PowerCenterPros for parts.

I'd sure like to find something useful to do with them. About the best
idea
is to take one upstairs to the bedroom to use to listen to old
episodes of
"This American Life" via its web page (since my local public radio
station
evidently has dropped it from the lineup of Sunday afternoon shows).
This,
though, would require an extraordinarily long Ethernet cable or perhaps
installing a PCI card in a PowerTower, which might not receive a strong
enough connection to sustain streaming audio and would also cost more
than
the PowerTower would bring on the market now sans RAM, but that's a
separate
issue).
Actually, that idea is growing on me.
But what to do with the second one? What would be a useful, worthy
undertaking for a fine old beige box such as that?
