I’m donating my old computer stuff that I never use to Computer Heaven, a local computer-recycling place.
Here’s the whole stack, plus my macbook (which I am not giving them):
Some statistics might be in order.
| Statistic | All The Sun Computers | The PCs | The MacBook |
|---|---|---|---|
| Disk Space | 2,800MB | 160,000MB | 240,000MB |
| Memory (RAM) | 272MB | 1024MB | 2048MB |
| Clock cycles (in MHz) | 337.6 | 2400 | 4800 |
| Pixels*bits of display | 33M | 32M | 55M |
| Power Consumption | ~3kW | ~1kW | 0.085kW |
| Weight | about 2000 lbs | about 200 lbs | about 7 lbs |
Still, it’s humbling.

Wow, that’s slightly more computer gear than I tossed/gave away when I moved out of Santa Clara in June (I had more stuff overall if you count the non-computer stuff). By the way, you might want to try the ‘free’ section on Craigslist. It’s amazing the kind of old crap people will come get if it is free. I got rid of almost half my stuff that way.
