[Michelle Dennis]

Stupid question, but isn't there any organisation working with
disadvantaged kids who wouldn't mind using even an outdated computer?
Somewhere?

Meh, we just dump ours in a large dumpmaster at the nearby Camberwell
Waste Transfer centre in Riversdale Rd...8^)

And before you write to flame me for it :

When it first started, there were statements made that it was a trial
that might be rolled out to other councils, but I haven't heard anything
about it after that although the original program still runs. Still, if
you have a lot of stuff to get rid of it could be worthwhile making a
special trip if you can't donate it somewhere useful and don't have the
time to set up the internet on old machines. Or if the stuff has ceased
to function and is uneconomical to repair.
