If you have a vintage computer, what do you do with it?
-
I have went through two computers since they became for sale. I have them in my back storage until I can through them away. I have windows 10. I never had the first ones. Mine are not valuable :sad1:

Most likely wait a few years then sell it (depending if I need the money or need the space). Probably scrap it for metals and such, unless the vintage computer is an apple I

What is a vintage computer?
-
We used to have a Commodore 64, probably not much use anymore though. I used to only play text typing/interactive fiction on that one.

Definitely recycle it! :thumbsup:

I still have a Windows Me that I use for semi work load still runs fine =].

Now days just about any computer more than a year or two old is a vintage computer.

I used to have my old IBM PC-Jr at my parent's house, although I believe that they finally got rid of it. It would've been a great collector's item, esp. considering some of the games that I still had for it too, namely the original 1984 King's Quest complete with the case and keyboard overlay (that I just saw going for $129 on e-bay). I think currently, any computer made in the 80's would be considered vintage.

I have a windows xp system and all I use it for is playing offline games and microsoft word. I am glad it has not quit on me yet.

When i think of the computers we used in the catalog dept. at sears and the ones we have now, They have come a long way. this was in the early 80's and the computer banks were very large and heavy, Then when we went to a new system, we went from those 3 large banks to a ps2 and it was a very small bank. Now look at what we use, smartphones and watches. What a great world we live in.

I'm running a 2012 MacBook Pro. Is that vintage? I also have my 2006 MBP sitting in a bookshelf behind me. No longer runs, I ought to sell it for parts or something.
