[OPLINLIST] Disposal of Computers

[Adam Murphy]

Staff are first in line for old PCs. Leftovers are put in our book sale. 
I think I only have had one PC left after a book sale.

I reformat the drive and then reinstall Windows or install Ubuntu 
desktop. I then make sure the video, sound and network card work. I 
don't apply any OS updates or install any software. The only PCs I would 
use dban on would be the financial computers.
