For those of you who like funny coincidences, I just want to point out
that last year we had this exact same conversation about recycling
comptuers (I sent an email on April 9th, 2006).

Must be the whole 'Spring Cleaning' thing. Just thought some of you
would find it interesting.

If you're a Worcester city resident, you can drop off at the Millbury
St (used to be Ballard St) recycling center for $5 a pop (computers
and monitors) ...only time I had a problem was doing a major
cleanout, about 10 of each, convincing them I was not a business
Call for an appointment time.

Hi Andy, and hello to everyone in WLUG!
I will definitely try to make May's meeting.
I have been working on various X-nix based systems since 1999 (Solaris,
HPUX, AIX, Red-Hat, and now CRUX).
I do a lot in Perl, MySQL, Nagios, BASH, and Apache.
Interests...varies depending on what I am doing at any given time. I would
like to learn more about IPC programming and multi-process threading in
X-nix. I like getting my hands dirty working with hardware. I would not mind
learning more about building custom hardware that interfaces with a
system...perhaps robotics or telecom (don't get the wrong idea, I have
little knowledge in this area right now).
Tal
PS
Oh, and I live in Leominster...but work in Boston

HI Tal,
Welcome to WLUG! I just got home from this evening's meeting. I got
the sense that it went well. I'm stuffed with pizza and soda.
Hopefully you'll be able to come to a few meetings and meet folks. We
meet once per month at WPI in Worcester, MA USA.
Let us know if you have other questions about the group, and we'll be
sure to answer them.
Also, I'm sure people are curious about your interest and experience
with Linux, so please, do tell.
See ya later,
Andy

Conveniently located near the junction of 190 & rt2, behind the mall.
Hope this helps

Anyone know where I can recycle old electronics? I've got a dead TV
and amiga monitor. I should probably get rid of the old amiga
computer as well and perhaps other spare/broken parts.

I paid $30 to get rid of a dead 27in Sony at E.L. Harvey in
Westborough. I would have looked around for a better deal (my
town takes them for $10, between 9am-noon *one* day a year),
but I had to make room in my garage.
