Blogger John Hatchett of Low End Mac has a good way to stretch a dollar and save the environment some hassle. "Old computers can serve new purposes--and save you money as well," he writes, in an essay entitled Old Macs in the New Economy. "We always use it up, wear it out, and then recycle it. We are the kings of making our computers last, last, and last some more."

Hatchett oughta know--this is a guy who uses a G3 Powerbook (remember those?) as his main computer. His latest project: Turning an old iMac into a digital jukebox.

The phenomenon isn't limited to Macs, of course--click here for a list of other ideas on what to do with an old PC.
