If they are that old, I doubt they have too much value for charities. You'd
probably be lucky to give them away, I have a few that aren't even as old as
that, and I haven't been able to find anyone that wants them.
I would just take them to Goodwill if you don't want them to go to waste,
putting the OS back on them would probably help most people.

If you did I'd wipe and reload.
Anyone going to a thrift store for a computer is either poor and likely
can't do anything with it if there is a problem or possibly a techie, they'll
wipe and reload regardless.

I am wondering if they have much value for charities. I suppose
thrift stores sell them.
Should I leave the OS on them?

Wipe the disks and donate them to a charity.
