Some people are really innovative when it comes to finding a new use for an old computer... Anyone know of any other uses?

In England there are sites where you can take them where they refurbish them & send them them to Africa, there was an amazing old couple who used to go to one of these centres with a battered old truck load up with as many as it could carry, put the truck aboard ship, then drive across Africa handing them out as they went, they did this several times until the husband died, but that's not the end of the story, a month after she buried her husband she was off again, did it twice more until she herself died, they had poured all their life's savings into the project plus the money the had from the sale of their large house which added over a million pounds, at the end of it all she died pennyless.

That's very cool - who pays for the refurbishment of the computers? Do they give them to schools or just to people in villages? I am wondering about things like power to plug them into and who pays for that. There were a group of kids here who wanted to send stuff to kids in Africa or somewhere like their old PS1's but they were told they would be no use and they would be better off buying them a goat!

I did not insult you, I merely pointed out the indisputable fact that those two objects were displayed in your post, end of, as far as I'm concerned, no insult was either given or was intended to be given, I swear.

Okay, don't start an argument! (Sorry to bud in)
Justin is allowed to post as many pictures as he wants.
Well, change of subject, my idea, which I'm gonna try, is a stun gun.
