[Techtalk] Old Computers....

[elinor]

Working at a school, I can't tell you how many phone calls I get from 
people offering me what really amounts to their garbage.  It takes more 
support staff to maintain older hardware, so I think it's best to just 
aim to keep as current as possible.  I like the X terminal idea for the 
old P100-200s though.  Ellie
