Many of you worked to keep old laptops from getting scrapped by dusting them off and donating them.

My acquaintances & friends give me their old computers when they buy a new one.
So I disassemble, clean, install an opsys,and get internet working.
I also upgrade memory, wireless, etc.
from my parts bin.
Then I give it to a poor person who needs a computer.
Usually a single working mom with kids.
I also do the same with old desktops as well.
They really appreciate them and It gives me the satisfaction of resurrecting an old computer.
Wbrown does the same:
Donate it via the local Lions Club for use by families of sight-challenged children.
Always a new HDD, max memory, clean and dust..
Cool way to help someone, and know it will be appreciated.
may upgrade to a small 32 GB ssd for instant on, but not likely.
Have a tip to share?
It’s not too late to join the conversation.
