Sorry man, but if I can't find any use for it, no school or charity is
going to. It will cost them more money to dispose of it then it will do

nothing more recent is going to run on it. (Well maybe some versions of
Linux, but it really hasn't even got enough power to make a useful

pi, and just leave it running, but surprisingly I'm just not that board.
Giving it the old heave hoe into over the wall of the giant dumpster
will at least give me some brief enjoyment. :-)
