As a company, we sell our old laptops and desktops to a recycling company, who will either rob all the useful parts to make Frankenstein PCs, or strip them for the components. Personally, I've still got my last two PCs at home. One is a very useful footrest (although I was thinking of using the case and making a media server out of it), and the other collects dust like you wouldn't believe :-) Jon -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Gustav Brock Sent: 16 September 2010 09:22 To: dba-tech at databaseadvisors.com Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] So what do you do with your old computer?

That's what we do. /gustav -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Jim Lawrence Sent: Wednesday, September 15, 2010 12:22 PM To: 'Discussion of Hardware and Software issues' Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] So what do you do with your old computer?

I will see if he still has the tape and post a link it here.
