They're still useful, someone local may want them for a free pickup. I still keep a spindle of both, for when I'm restoring older laptops and PCs. For drivers and software.
I should drop them for free somewhere probably and see if someone does. When working with computers I just keep a stash of cheap flash drives around. Much easier than burning a CD anyways since new laptops don't usually have CD drives anymore (mine doesn't though I have a USB one around here somewhere).
But flash drives don't come with a free bagel holder ๐
Yep, I rebuilt an old Pentium III laptop a few weeks ago. The only way to get data onto it was via the 24x CD-ROM drive it has, or by taking the hard drive out of it and mounting it in another computer. I had some CD-Rs and a USB cd burner laying around, so I dusted it off and burned a copy of Windows 98 SE and used it to install the OS on that machine.
