Very old Mac PowerBooks.......

We have several 20 year old Mac Powerbook g4s. Is there anything useful we can do with them or are they just so much scrap?

im not sure if they will take them but it will be worth checking on music magpie. they take all sorts of electrical stuff, and so you may find that you will get some cash for them x

Not really looking for money for them (unless it’s lots, which it won’t be!) more hoping a charity might want them or something like that......

Thank you so much-sadly they don't take anything over 10 years old! It's starting to look like it's the tip for them. :(

Put them on eBay. Looks like they sell for 40/50 quid

Yes someone will buy them. Older Macs are quite collectible.

I would definitely try to sell them on eBay. You would be shocked at what some people will pay for them.

You haven't got any coloured clamshell iBooks knocking about have you? Grin
