Sure you can -- you can use them to disassemble the
"fecal matter" that
passes for a computer nowadays & reuse the jumpers/switches/headers/etc. to
rebuild *good* computers! Too bad there isn't more 74-series chips on the
boards nowadays...
I found an absolutely lovely stone-age PC mobo in a big bag of PCBs I was
given. Every bloody chip was socketed! That made for a fun hour with a
screwdriver (serving as a DIL lifter). Now I have more 74LS logic than I'll
probably ever use.
If they built them like that nowadays, my grandmother would be able to fix the
stupid things.
