If you have a high school in your area, you might contact the science teacher, or the math teacher, or maybe they really have a computer teacher--not one that merely teaches Word for Windows--and donate your old versions there. I should think that versions older than about three dot numbers might not be welcome. I.E. 7.1 might be OK, but not older. That's just my guess.
I remember awhile back, someone from Africa was asking for donated old distributions. He said the price of a new boxed set was more than some people there earn in a month, and downloading the free distros was out of the question because the best connections they can get are phone lines. Hey maybe that would be a good "charity to start". Collect old boxed sets, and economically ship them over on a boat in containers. Maybe Bill Gates would donate some of his "Charity" money to the cause. :-) -- use Perl; #powerful programmable prestidigitation
