 Any of you ole timers find a use/repurpose for the old and now useless dongle? Should I put mine in the trash/landfill dump or has some smart individual found another use for them.

Hi,
I have often wonder that, possibly using it for security on a directory or something but as it was a bit problematic I think it would lock you out when you really needed it.
Probably best destined for the WEEE bin in the sky.

Do me a favour Gary and place it on the ground and smash it to pieces with a hammer, while shouting the words "That's what Les thinks of you, you lying, over-controlling, cheat". LOL

A video of it being done would be wonderful to watch. LOL

Best regards
Les

I binned mine and bought 3 copies of the dongle-free version. Money well spent!

I think this is the least we can do for you Les.
Enjoy.

Dongle smashed

And people say I never throw anything out...

Many, many, many, many, many thanks kcsl. There is not enough space to put all the thanks I have. :-) That has made my day. :-)

I didn't need a hammer to break my dongle, I was able to break it several times by simply forgetting to remove it before putting the laptop in the bag.

I think I've got another one at work somewhere. I've got several options to destroy it, 150 tonne press, waterjet or maybe forklift?
