Anyone buying old laptops?
Hi, A friend of mine has some old PII Dell latitude laptops that she wants to sell. The guys who buy used/old/damaged laptops say that they are only taking PIII and above... Does anyone know anyone who can buy old PII laptops. Surely, there must be something that can be salvaged from a PII laptop. Claire.

I have a school that might be happy with them. What version of Windows are they running? On Tue, Mar 16, 2010 at 4:24 PM, Alvin Jason Ochieng <ajochola@gmail.com>wrote:

Jorum, Even for a school, those laptops are not any good! Think about it. A lesson lasts 40 minutes, IIRC. Wouldn't the students be wasting that time when using such slow computers? Students need the fastest computers, not these! We don't need stonehenge (sic!) stuff for our kids!

They can still be used for sourcing spare parts. If you get one of those river road/luthuli guys. On Tue, Mar 16, 2010 at 3:30 PM, Claire Njoki <clairenjoki@gmail.com> wrote:

@Claire, just sharing my thots. :-) IMHO the person should not be selling them but rather giving them away free. I don't understand what kind of society we are becoming when we want to sell worthless older machines. If you look at the specs, these P2s are obsolete but can be helpful to someone starting out. Incase your friend wants a value of a few hunderds of Ksh, they can remove rare metals from the MB, processor and some tantalum capacitors but be warned it is a very deadly and can kill. Ok, The best price for a P2 = nothing. Donate them to a technical training centre who also teach electronic engineering. Best of luck. Rgds.

PII's and PIII's are a never at this time and age!!! Not even if they were meant for toddlers! Else, you will end up bringing up a 'slow' community. On a creative line, maybe burning them and charging guyz for the Bonfire might bring in more income 8-)! Chris_w. dabnix@gmail.com

@Chris, Guess what? Disposal of Electronic Waste is also a challenge in KE (as is perhaps in most other parts of the world)! Ponder that too:-) -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "If you have nothing good to say about someone, just shut up!." -- Lucky Dube
