Give them up for $5-$10 apiece to some local geeks. The nominal charge is to prevent
the folks who'll just take a machine because it's free. A while back I cleared out
my garage and got rid of some Apple, Sun, IBM and miscellaneous x86 hardware. Gave
some to the local kids. A couple months later I saw a couple on the side of the road
waiting for the trash pickup. I had no need for them, but it was a little annoying
to see them there.
