I have servers and old desktops (definitely not laptops) that I have repurposed multiple times. My oldest Dell server is going on 11 years, and had it's role reassigned 3 times. First it was our Exchange server, then it was a backup/development SQL server, now it is a Linux-based web server. Our oldest desktops are running as secondary DHCP servers, and a UPS shipping station, all purchased before I joined the company 11 years ago, so they are likely 12+ yrs old. And they are all Dell systems. They just keep chugging away!

That is, students would blog on Wordpress each week instead of posting on posterous. How about using WordPress the way we used Posterous?
