My first laptop was an Apple Powerbook 520c, purchased about 1992-93. I still have it, but now want to get rid of it as part of a house decluttering.
I think several years ago I took it to an Apple dealer who transferred all the files on it to a couple of CDs, but I don't care about that anymore. I'm not worried about the laptop having any files on it that I don't want anyone to see.
It's a relic - what should I do with it? Just send it to a tech recycling center? Are there parts they can still use? Or will it just go to a landfill somewhere?
I guess I could offer it for free on craigslist but I can't imagine anyone would be interested in it.
ETA: looks like Best Buy will take it for free. There's a store nearby - maybe that's my best option. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Global-Promotions/Recycling-Electronics/pcmcat149900050025.c?id=pcmcat149900050025
