This is a further update on my computer Miss Compaq

Today is it's last full day of operation, as at the New Years eve party at church, one of our ministers who is also an expert in buy computers said that he will take me on Friday, (tomorrow as I post this) to get a new system.

I will then need to decommission the old machine

I do not feel like going through the gargantuan process of running the nuke option, especially as it would want to download service pack 3, so may just delete various settings and files.

What I would like to happen would be for someone to take the old PC away, re-condition it and give it to a charity.

My efforts to find such a charity have not been successful. The nearest one I found, was Manchester

Any ideas?

This feels like an end of an era, just like when I got rid of the Packard Bell in 2002. You may have briefly seen the old threads I bumped.
