True that - with the exception of Mac minis. Those little things can sit
on a shelf and easily serve web pages, email, or other things all day
long without complaint. Seems at the very least, you could list it on
eBay for $10 and see what comes of it (sold to locals only), though.
That's probably what I'd do (only I'd ask just under the current market
price based on recently closed auctions for that model).
