What To Do With Old Apple Computers, iPads, iPhones, etc
If you have an old working computer, iPad, iPhone etc. we often get asked what should I do with it. Well, here are some suggestions:
1. Word processor programs like older Pages, Numbers, Word and Excel still work on the computer. So you have an option of using the computer with those programs.
2. Turn it into a picture display. Load photos on it and have it run a continuous slide show.
3. Turn it into a media server. If it has a good sized hard drive on it, store some of your favorite media on it for playing on other computers or devices.
4. Hand it down - Pass it down to someone else.
5. If it is a working device and you don't want it anymore, then contact CWAUG. We have members looking for older equipment.
6. If it is broken, Some of the parts may be viable on it yet. If not, find a recycling facility and recycle it. Certain groups in Marshfield hold special yearly events where they offer inexpensive drop off points for old non-working electronics.
