Pathetic, really. Whats so 'ancient' about a P4? Its still just as functional as it was the day it was minted - a manufacturing process that cost the earth a LOT in terms of resources. The carbon debt of producing last years computing devices is still huge, and that is all going to be thrown away and ignored because the "P4 isn't fast enough any more.." So all those resources are going to be wasted just because its not 'fashionable' to have a slow computer any more? I find this attitude disgusting. There is no such thing as a 'dead computer', only dead users. That P4 that someone finds 'uncool' could just as easily make a huge difference in someone else's life, it only it weren't sitting there in a huge pile of garbage, rotting away ..
