So I'm frantically sorting and purging, and must now ask the computer-saavy here what I should have last month: I've been given 2 computers for home use (primarily I'll use for word processing and a little email, don't care about games or fancy graphics; use the T1 line at the office for serious research):
-Macintosh Performa 6220CD/75 16/1 GB
Discontinued in 1996. 75MHz PowerPC 603 CPU. Worth about $30. A 'horrible architecture' to 'be avoided at all costs' :)

You could run MkLinux on it, but even then the serial ports don't go above 9600bps making it rather slow on the internet...
-Hewlett Packard Pavillion 6535 "designed for Windows 98," w/ Intel Celeron sticker
Introduced in 1999 (?) 466Mhz Celeron CPU. Probably a bit more useful than the Performa :)
