I got a box full of a bunch of stuff from over the years. Some big, some small, some expensive, some cheap. It seems like a shame to throw it all in a landfill, with or without personal data.

I think playing games you like is a great reason to keep a computer around, and, technically speaking, it is doing actual computing to make those games and screensavers work.

Too bad you don't have space to set it up anymore. I hope you can find a way to enjoy your computer again.

That's true and I'm amazed it still is computing away (or would be if I had it set up right now). I have a newer computer and it's the standard windows PC thing, and I really don't enjoy it as much as I enjoyed my old Mac. There was a lot of weird stuff on Mac computers, games and things that were so out there. And most of them *(even ones that should be for PC also) don't run on my newer system.
