Well, M_2...
I'm going to hold on to that Vic 20 that i bought when i was a teenager. I'm sure it's going to be worth $10,000 on the Antiques Road Show some day!
I do think giving away computers to those who can't afford to buy one (or doing free computer repair for those who are unemployed, etc.) is a good idea.
I'm not sure exactly what famous Christian said this: "The only books we will have in heaven are the ones we have given away." I guess that applies to computers or what ever we do to give away our time, talent, or treasure.
Thanks for getting us thinking, M_2!
