[LEMONS] 6.18.2001
We were looking to get rid of an old machine recently, and you wouldn't believe what a pain in the ass it was. If you have an older computer--one that isn't going to fetch more than $100 if you were to sell it--it's nearly impossible to get rid of the damn thing. We contacted several goups who we thought could use a free computer, but no dice. Even those in a position to acept charity seem to have system requirements these days. Finally, I wound up removing the hard drive and putting it out on the curb. It disappeared within ten minutes. Kurb Karma.
But still, PC recycling is an idea whose time has come. Particularly in light of all the toxic waste those old machines produce.
