My threshold is a lot lower than that, for some things. Currently, machines
that are physically small, and quiet, tend to stick around. I've got a
couple of sub-1-gHz PIII PCs, for example; tiny, quiet old Intel "internet
appliances."
For some reason, I can't let laptops and other portables go, either.
Non-Intel Unix machines tend to stick around, too. I passed along a large
pile of Sun and SGI stuff, but I still have an SGI Indigo^2, and O2, and an
Octane.
But, I'm doing better. I've down to a van-load of computer stuff, from a
semi-trailer-load, with no decrease in fun.
