• No. In general, schools are looking the latest and greatest computers, not old, slow machines. • New computers are so inexpensive that it s more cost-effective to buy brand new computers than refurbish old ones. • Distributing the data on these old computers to schools breaches privacy and security regulations, and leaves the donors vulnerable because of a lack of proper documentation on what happened to the old systems.
