While that may have been the case back in the mid-80s (when you WOULD toss an old computer in the trash), nowadays, those old computers have new jobs to do…
When I was a network admin, we used to re-purpose old workstations, such as a Dell Precision, to run small databases or as domain controllers. An array of old dual Xeon workstations is a pretty powerful tool for some work. :-)
My old Mac Mini from 2012 is going to become a crypto-mining rig… it probably won’t net much, but it will have some use other than a stylish aluminum paper weight. ;-)
