Should I throw this old computer equpiment away?

[Death Metal Moe]

Look at this shit! My grandma just unearthed these things from the back of some cabinet she forgot about:

I have 2 of these things sitting around. It says on the side that it's for use with the Apple IIE/IIC/Laser 128 or IBM PC/XT/AT/PS2. The year on the literature says 1990. I REALLY wish she had given me this stuff back when I was playing games on the Apple IIE!

I also have one of these:

It looks like the 1st mouse ever made to me. I am impressed it's a rollerball. The name is Kensington on the back. It's called the Turbo Mouse.

Now although I have no use for these things, the 2 joysticks are brand new in bow. The goddamn little warranty mailer postcard is still in the bottom. I will really feel bad if I just end up throwing these things away.

So what should I do? I have no use for them. I don't have a working credit card or I'd sell them on Ebay. (or at least try.)

Is there any worth to these old ass things? Or should the go out with the trash.

I'll make this thread a kind of Poll and decide their fate on yoru votes.

They look like something that came from an old Star Trek set. Try calling your local Salvation Army to see if they can use them. Some charity may take them off your hands.

It's unlikely that any charities would take stuff that old. Get someone elseto sell them on ebay for you.

Can you plug them in and blow 'em up at one of your gigs? At least they'd have one purpose.

Change your band's name from "Unhallowed" to "The Lords of Discarded Technology" and throw this stuff at your screaming fans.

Damn, I've been working with computers for a long frickin' time. I've actually seen and used both of those items before.

Should I throw this old computer equpiment away?I was gonna say give them to me, but than when I saw what shit they were, I thought better of it. I have better computer equiptment from about '85 for my IBM.

I had that equipment w/my Apple II.

Although currently there is no market for old computer gear like this (or even old computer games) who knows what will be in a few years. Perhaps, as the original computer geeks age, they'll pay something for the toys of long ago.

Wow, they were really planning ahead.
