It isn't capable of running modern games so it's only useful as a work comp or as a corpse for me to mess around with and dissect. The question is: what's the most responsible way to get rid of/use this comp? What is the most fun way? Which one should I do? Thanks for all help in advance. If I decide that it's trash I'll end up giving it to a TL'er that likes to mess around with computer's (that lives in Vancouver). Maybe donation?..  | ||

I remember when I was a kid, we were moving house and my Dad just gave our old Acorn computer to one of the removal men as we weren't using it anymore. Looking bad I kinda wish he didn't, those things are relics now. | ||

MS server is just an operating system like vista, XP, etc), do a clean install of it, and add it to your network(I.E. attach it to a LAN port on your router). With a small home network there isn't really a whole lot of use for it, but it does have some uses. I have my server set up for VPN so I can access and control my computer at home remotely(from school, a friends house, etc). My family also uses my computer, so I can set up restrictions for their accounts so they don't mess anything important up. I'm going to school for network and telecommunications, so the main reason is so I can do server related homework and labs without having to go up to the college to use theirs. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/default.aspx Microsoft actually has some really good an in-depth tutorials for working with and maintaining a server on their sites. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-ca/default.aspx | ||
