what should a person do with an old computer?
I have an old computer that I do not use anymore, and have not used in a very long time. Anyway it does have a lot of memory or something like that so I thought I'd scrap, but I want to make sure that all my records, personal information is secure, so it's a man to do? I know the old box type monitors are a dime a dozen these days and there really is not much recovery dollars, but as far as the tower and some components internals are concerned, they might be worth saving. I just wondered what would be a good way to get rid of that great clipboard while protecting my privacy.
If your area supports it, go to the city dump to dispose of electronics properly. An old computer can be used as a server using a server operating system (Windows or Linux). There are several advantages to doing so, particularly of holding out to take control of your new computer. If it has at least 128 MB to 512 MB of RAM, it will be perfect as a server. If you dispose the old computer that hard drive. You can always put it in your new machine as a way to back up important files. If you decide not to keep your old hard drive to destroy it. Open it and destroy all the trays. This is the BEST way to keep your personal data personal. Donate that goodwill (or similar places), but without the hard drive. No matter how good a program it says is to erase the data on a hard disk, it is not totally true. Many financial companies have discovered the hard way that no program can erase everything perfectly. In my work as a Computer Tech, we are responsible for destroying decommissioned hard drive on site to ensure they were destroyed.
