    Anyone got any suggestions as what to do with unwanted Microsoft XP PC. Its in relatively good working order with Office 2003 installed.I'd hate to have to dump it.

    Anyone know of any local charities / groups that would take it?

    I think I know of a group (involved in youth services, but don't want to name them here) who might be interested. Is it a full, working PC with monitor, keyboard, mouse etc.? Could you post rough specs?

    Alternatively, you could try 'phoning somewhere like the Northside Youth Café.

    The charity shops per se probably won't/can't take it for lack of storage space.

    Not sure of the specs to be honest.

    Its been used mainly for college/ school work for the last few years and has served me well.

    Worked great when searching the net albeit a tad bit slow. I've cleared all documents and music off it so far.

    Has a full micosoft office student 2003 package installed.

    Comes with speakers/ mouse/ monitor/keyboard

    I only live 5 mins walk from that youth cafe now that you mention it

    As far as I can remember the Charity Shops will not take electrical items.
    something to do with being sued if someone electrocutes themself after buying the item.
