You can donate your old computer to a good cause (see text below, it's the ad we run on craiglist).
For Microsoft's MAR program we had to choose between Win98SE and 2K. Given hardware requirements we figured we could "save" a lot more PCs with the 98SE. Personally I'd like a stack of Windows 3.11 licenses that I can skin with Calmira XP for the REALLY old PCs but that's another thread. Anyone with questions about our program please feel free to get in touch. Thanks! Scott

If you have an old computer that you no longer use -- working or not -- please
consider donating it to the local San Diego PC Recycle Project (sponsored by
the Ray and Joan Kroc Corp Community Center, CompuMentor, and Microsoft).
Each computer donated is formatted to ensure your privacy and then reinstalled
with a fresh and authorized licensed copy of Windows. We then add "open-source"
(free) educational and productivity software. All refurbished computers are customized
to address specific educational needs and placed with a family that work directly
with the Kroc center.
Supporting our program helps to battle the digital divide in our community while
saving some environmentally-unfriendly old PCs from the landfill.
If you would like a receipt of your donation for tax purposes we are able to
provide this to you upon request when you donate your PC.
If you are interested in donating, please respond and I will provide you
information about scheduling a drop-off at the Kroc center. Thanks, San Diego!
