I have zero interest in putting it up on Ebay, since it means I need to actually pack and ship the crap. It's just not worth it to me. But hey, if *you* want to do it, I'd be happy to give you all the stuff and you can do it. John

Recycling centers

by John Stoffel

Anyone have a good suggestion for a place to recycle junk computers cheaply. I've got a pile of dead equipment starting to fill my garage and now that it's spring, it's time to get rid of it all. Most of it actually works, it's just all P133 or PIIs and they're not worth the effort to keep running any more. Plus I've got some work stuff to get rid of too, monitors and such. John
