But, when you think about it, maybe not all of the old stuff is to throw away indiscriminately -- hard drive technology, in particular, doesn't progress as fast as microprocessors technology, and even if that old hard disk can't store that much, you're thinking that, after all, maybe you could still use it as a backup unit.
