OK, seems to be sorted. Beardeddragon, basically, when you run the script in the terminal, you are seeing colored output, right? Warnings about possible security holes will appear in red in the output and summary, good news will be in green.

True you're saving them from landfill but old computers use vastly greater amounts of electricity than new ones to do the same work.

I may rethink my position then. It's like we say in the Pacific Northwest: every time you turn on the lights, a salmon dies. No matter what we do, we impact our environment somehow.
