I already feel silly for recycling Mac Pluses.  It turns out you can  
actually sell those things.  Though I expect the buyers are just  
doing it to entertain themselves, not for computing.

I still have old Macs, and I still develop software that runs on  
them.  Much of that development effort is spent on making them  
compatible with other platforms, so I can write code that runs on  
everything.

Don't forget about software.  To make the best use of your RAM and  
CPU cycles, you'll probably want to run a full Web browser as little  
as possible.  Especially if you're time-sharing with your friends.
