Re: [Plug] New (old) computer comes in, old one goes out


Er oops, I see you said besides selling it!
I think you may be able to recycle it?
I read an article on slashdot about "High Tech Junk"
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=99/08/16/204234&mode=nested
Which has a link to http://www.insidedenver.com/business/0816cov1.shtml
which talks about some alternate uses of old computers, including pot hole
filler :)
