I dont know either python or perl, but I've seen the syntax for both. Python
looks very nice and object oriented, while at first glance perl looks like
VB for Unix. Blech!

Another vote for "it's fine."
I don't see a problem with it at all. I wouldn't see a problem with it if
you went into business restoring 486s and pocketed all of the profits. So
long as you are up front with people about what they're getting.
There are a lot of people who can't afford the lates

I had 2 486/33s and a 486/66. I gave away the nicer of the 33s to old family
friends and they were thrilled because not only was it nicer than what they
had but it also came with a co
computer
but it is not at the top of the list right now.
In other words, sometimes anything is better than nothing.

I agree, there is a big difference between selling a drunk guy another beer

I had the same mentality for a while, but now it feels like I am exploiting

Some people cannot help but purchase computers in the same way alcoholics
cannot help

Couple of points here:
1. 486 machines do fine for simple email clients, word processors and
spreadsheet machines. As a developer you should know that there are
people that are more than fine with old technology.
2. If you are donating 100% of what you're getting back from sales back

As long as they understand what the machines are, its certainly not immoral
to sell them the computers. Especially if you arne't keeping the $$.

I think it's only morally wrong if you mislead them. If you explain to them that these
are old machines that you've refurbished, and they still want to buy them, then take
the money and give it to your church. In my experience with church charities, they
can really use and stretch those dollar
I agree with Eri*K*a, especially if you TOLD them it's a doorstop and they
still want it.
