    Would you say someone restoring an old car should recycle it instead? If an archaeologist finds an old buried tool should they recycle it? The rosetta stone is made from valuable silica, let's recycle that too!

    People are allowed to enjoy things. If having a couple of old computers makes someone happy, isn't that better than them buying new things instead?
