What Do You Do With Old Computers?
Play dominoes!
(Unless they’re old Macs, in which case you play Dominoes and then make a whiny series of adverts telling everyone that they make much better dominoes than PC’s because they’re all pretty colours, way more expensive and are ‘just better, OK?’)

The frogs got me feeling all Al-Gore-ish today: I hope the computers were all disposed of responsibly (after they were through playing with them of course).
I actually had to find a company last year when I moved offices to haul away my old computers (and I brought a couple in from home besides). Not only is it responsible ecologically — there are ethical issues involved because I would have confidential client stuff that shouldn’t be accessed by third parties… but what a gimmick for that company: They get paid to haul the computers away. Then they scrap the computers and sell the computers and sell the component parts.

It’s certainly a bit of a racket.
I think there was a story in the UK about a company like that who weren’t destroying the hard drives, but were selling them as well, medical results and all sorts in the public domain.
