Is that really a bad thing though? These old PC's are extremely wasteful with electricity relative to newer ones, so how much money are people really saving? People are so quick to ignore the ongoing costs and obsess over the immediate. Basic web browsing/word processing is incredibly cheap to do right now in a new PC (sub $200 sans peripherals for the absolute newest hardware). In my opinion, these are machines that will handle web tasks for at least the next 10 years barring some huge shift that I cannot foresee.
