You can probably put your old PC to some kind of good use. But sometimes, you want that old dinosaur out of the house. Here are some options to consider: 
1. Revitalize It You may think that ancient laptop is too slow for use, but try installing the tint consumer-friendly, Linux-based operating system gOS 3 Gadgets (www.thinkgos.com). It may turn that geezer into the perfect Web-surfing speed demon for your least PC-literate family member.
2. Gave It away. Whether you hand it down to family or to a local charity, there’s got to be someone clamoring for your old, working PC. If you can’t find anyone, check www.freecycle.org for a mailing list of people in a city near you who love free stuff ?our junk is their gold.
3. Pick a dump spat. Find a PC Donation center in your area that will make sure PC toxins don’t and up in a landfill. Search Earth 911 (earth9ll.org) for places that will dispose of electronics responsibly.
No matter what, sanitize that hard drive before you pass it on. At the very least, format the drive and, reinstall the operating system before recycling the old PC.
