I'm the sort of person who uses these things without the first clue as to how they work! These are all my old abused ones which range from dead-as-doornails to just unreliable and slow. I need them all gone ASAP but I don't know:
- How to rescue any files that I any want from them. Namely photos, but one has got a bunch of audiobooks I don't want to lose, and a couple have games saved to them which are as retro as they are (anyone remember 'Lemmings'?) which I'd love to salvage if I can! Can files be extracted from dead machines?
- How to make them 'safe', so whoever gets them doesn't steal my identity or whatever
- What they're worth
- The best way to offload them - computer shop? Facebook? 'We Buy Any Laptop' type online outfits?
Any advice much appreciated!
