Green uses for older Macs
With a garage full (about 50) old macs, from CIs & CXs to LCs and Beige G3s, there just has to be some uses for all these old computers. Things like house monitoring, watering the lawn, security, temperature control. I know a lot of this would be dependent on software, but what's available? There's nothing wrong with my Mac+ 4MB, I just need to be able to put all these wonderfully built machines to use. What do you do with yours? Desktops and laptops?

Hi Richard. Here is a article about the kind of use you have in mind I think. Ralph

Ralph, That's the kind of thing I was looking for. I can't count how many Macs I've given away. Trouble is they all want full internet now and get disappointed when the old machines won't do it. Give a machine to a lot of places and you just set yourself up for 4-5 free service calls because if it's free they'll call you every time they forget a keyboard command instead of reading the manual. There's a lot to be said for anonymous giving, leave it on the door step and run.

That's the way I give them to the kids--I give them to the teacher to pass on to the child. Ralph
