In support of Mr. Njungu. I have always protested aloud whenever I hear someone mentioning in a meeting something to the effect "they are turning 3rd world countries into obsolete computer dumping ground".
There is nothing like obsolete here: a 486/66 pc with 500 MB HDD and 16 MB RAM will nicely install Win95 and Office97 and leave you plenty of room for your data files. Doesn't sound like much, but, obtained at $80 (system unit, color monitor, keyboard and mouse), a person or school that would otherwise never dream of acquiring a computer. Please keep donating the used PCs and accessories, we out here do appreciate them very much. D.
