Translation: Excuse me for omitting a question. Such computers are being
disposed of by people, since you can't install Vista or 7 on them. But
you can still find enthusiasts, although extremely few. Everyone's
chasing gigabytes and gigahertzes and the like, Microsoft's to blame here
-- the mover of progress ;=) I feel bad for the old hulks showing up in
dumps, they could still be used, if only people stopped fantasizing, and
find many applications.

My response: Most people want to use computers online with graphical
browsers and watch Youtube, which requires a minimum of 600MHz (still
jerky). I have been setting up and giving away 1GHz computers recently,
about ten years old, which do all of what most people want, with a newer
version of linux (Puppy Linux) and at least 256MB memory, but personally I
still use Basiclinux unless I need flash video, since recent versions of
flash require GTK2 which BL does not support. Opera 9.64 and Seamonkey
1.1.19 do work in BL, but not at all sites.
