Technology graveyard

Obsolete computers create difficult end-of-life decisions for their users.

Maybe it's hard to part with the computer because of the memories attached to it, even though it takes what seems like days to start up. Or maybe it's that their owners don't know how to get rid of them.

The National Safety Council estimates nearly 250 million computers have become obsolete in the past five years. With the average life span of computer systems currently only two years, they're becoming outdated even faster.
