how do you treat with your old equipment?

you could cut the sharp end of of it? ;) it's a pretty nice way to still have some use for an old pc. i've saw menu-cards at trendy bars made out of old printplates or motherboards. it has something beautiful about it. I always gave my old pc away to some friend who likes to play around with it. my mother still uses a pentium II, wich is considered by a lot of people to be hopelessly out of date. But it still works perfectly for internet and an old microsoft works version (the only things my mother uses), and with windows 98 you almost don't need a virus scan anymore :p , there are just no more viruses for it. (yeey!)

They should be treasured.. That's for me... Somebody might need that thing.. You'll be helping that person a lot... ^_^

Me, I just stacked them somewhere and cover them with a cloth to avoid dust. Of course I still care because I use them for a long time.
