Fragile? This thing could stop a 9mm. I had a pile left when I retired, every time corp. gave me a new I one threw old one in a closet, been refreshing and distributing them to young family who don't know the difference recently. If you have no expectations it's fast right? Was at sis-in-law's
and a niece was dragging a dell latitude around by the external scsi
cable, (mom removed, set aside hard drive and battery), like a fischer-price
toy, laughed til I cried, so cute. Got an ancient guy I don't even know with
COPD across the road chained to an oxygen bottle, met his sister, using
Windows his nephew isn't supporting on a pc still running 7 and won't
make it to 10, should have seen his face when a stranger knocked on the
door and handed him a Dell E6400t fully loaded with FC36 ready to boot
and finish in its original case. Great way to make friends too. Can't believe how fast he caught on, wish I could have hired him as an admin 30 years ago.

Yes.
Note the year, and recycle them.
I could list all the reasons why trying to keep such ridiculously old
and fragile computers going is a bad idea, but most should be obvious.
