    What to do with old computer books?

    I have a collection of old and out of date computer/technology books (Flash 4, Flash MX, Photoshop 6, ASP, etc.) and I have no idea what to do with them? They aren't really of much use to anyone these days. I could just use them as kindling or something but that seems like a real waste. I...
