Points well made. With the half-life of PCs the way they are, there is also
increased likelihood they would get sold and re-sold and subsequently end up
in a home. Companies often sell off their old PCs at auctions. I just
received an offer to purchase Pentium 2 PCs from a local high tech firm for
$400 each.
