Yep, and for those requests for old copies of Windows and Office I also politely tell them about Linux / Open Office respectively.
Out of 6 attempts so far, no coversions to Linux, but 2 to Open Office <smug smile>.

(www.freecycle.org to find your local group.) =================================================== OFFER: Complete working PC Made almost entirely out of Freecycled parts: Midi-tower Pentium III 600Mhz with 192Mb RAM and a small but adequate hard disk, with (v. good but fairly large) Dell/Trinitron 17" CRT monitor & graphics card, CD and DVD reader drives, keyboard mouse and speakers. Runs Windows XP fine, but currently has the latest release of Ubuntu Linux installed. Ideal to learn Linux on, or maybe as a "homework" PC for the kids. =================================================== I'm just flagging it up as I thought it was an ideal way to promote Ubuntu! If you have an old PC that you no longer need, why not install Ubuntu on it, and offer it up to your local Freecycle group? Kudos to "Martin in East Grinstead" who made the offer on Freecycle Crawley.
