We have a old HP laser printer, toners finished, got a new printer. Parallel port.
Old games. Will keep the windows and office :D Games like NFS (1, 2, 3). Command and Conquerer, Sim City / Earth etc etc ...

Do you shred your old personal CD/DVD discs?

Have a portable color bubblejet too, parallel port. Haven't kept track, how are the portable printers these days like?


Cheers....

If you have personal data... may be burn it up or break the disks or something? I don't have a lot of CDs.

887399 2010-05-23 08:05:00 Usually wait for E day to happen for hardware and such, CD's don't have personal stuff except photo's so not worried if someone got hold of them. I would be more worried if they stole the filling cabinet as the contents of that are worth far more than what's on the computers gary67 (56)

Put her on a plane to Vancouver earlier this evening! SWMBO is away visiting brother and friends from way back, in Canada/USA, for around 5 weeks.

After 42 years of wedded bliss I miss her already, after only a couple of hours apart. :wub
