Sell the computer to your grandmother and buy bitcoins with the money.
My machine may be wimpy, but it still works. In the background while working on my computer, it calculated a bit: 0.00564658 BTC from deepbit!
That at $5 could buy me a latte!

Thanks for everyone's responses.
I just didn't know if my speed was good or bad. Now I know it is bad.

At 1169 khash/sec, is it worth mining?
If you rephrase your question as

At 0.001 Ghash/sec, is it worth mining?
Than it kind of answers itself, isn't it?
I am using a ATI,RadeonHD2600
What graphics card do you have? OpenCL is supported on most recent graphics cards.
That rate was with the mac bitcoin client -- so it wasn't an optimized GPU miner.
I just tried getting diablo to work, but it doesn't see my graphics card for some reason:

Did something go wrong? Relaunch and enter the Set up wizard by pressing 1 and Enter during start-up, and check your configuration.

Is there any chance of making any bitcoins when my computer chugs along at 1169 khash/sec?
I don't know how good/bad that is. I know it is nothing compared to dedicated mining machines.

The main question is - why that crappy rate? What ancient graphics card do you have? Download a GPU miner.
www.deepbit.net is the mining pool I use.
Pieter, how does one join a pool?
If you mine solo with this, it'd take you on average 50 years for a block.
If you mine in a pool with this, you'll make 0.0027 BTC per day.
Up to you to decide whether that's worth it to you - but i assume it's way less than your power costs.
