If its something you'd be really really bothered about someone else seeing then smash the hard drive. 'tis the only way to be sure.

The rest of the stuff would only be good together as a working system. Even then only for a really low end use. I do remember hearing about a charity collecting old PCs 'for Africa' quiet what they were doing with them I've no idea.

I mean if your an Ethiopian who refuses to move to an area that actually has rainfall it ain't going to do you much good to have an old 486. Your still going to starve unless someone gives you some food or you head to the south of the country. Where the are rain forests. Or is that heresy?

Blimey wandered of topic there.
