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

I considered Doug a friend and his passing is sad. Though if I manage to live a life only as half as great as his, I'll consider it a success. Tim.
