I completely agree with that. It makes me feel sick how people get rid of their old computers! Giving up of my twin SE/30 (it has the same age as me) it fills me with despair and terror! lol
Talking about my SE, I still use him a lot (in fact, it's really near my newest computer), I use a TI-graphing calculator and its drivers aren't compatible with Windows Xp, so I had to use the interface in my old SE - and it works even better!

The current thing seems to be disposing of G3 stock that is no longer 'useable' becuase OS X has moved on so far that it's not percieved to really any longer feasible to use it day in day out on a G3 machine. In the dumpster with it all... In my opinion it's sick, and stupid. There are people out there who don't have a computer, and want one but don't have the cash. Give them a nice shiny G3 B&W with a 10GB hard disk and OS 9.2, Eudora and a copy of AppleWorks 6 and they are set to go. Some people simply don't NEED power. The trouble is no-one takes the time to think about it cause it doesn't make money, or so they think... As for the old 68ks, I'm sure many a person here will tell you many of them are as good for e-mail and word processing stuff as any G5 supercomputer, after all the limiting factor is not the machine when typing it's the users fingers and brain :o) -- Mark Benson AIM - SilValleyPirate MSN - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit FlatPackMacs online: <http://fpm.68kmac.com> Visit my Homepage: <http://homepage.mac.com/markbenson> "Introducing Macintosh Classic II - pick one out on your way past the trash!" -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
