I know about about a dozen LC 575/580 owning low-income families with grade-schoolers reading above level that would strongly disagree. Once again, the fact that it doesn't surf like a champion doesn't make it unworthy of preservation.

preservation and shoving these things onto poor people are 2 different things, its one to hobby around, but really? if you want to help the poor I know many of us have our little treasure troves where you can get a palette of 1ghz p3's for the cost of scrap, that can run a current OS and unless your doing something frivolous (ie trying to play the sims 2 or hd video over flash) actually run just fine

I almost think its mean to hand someone a grossly outdated computer and tell them to educate their kids on it, sure its fine for stickybear but you just gimped the kid by a decade (cause we all know that the future lies in system 7 right?)
