We had the same problem, but we had about three truckloads of old computer stuff. Goodwill and the likes won't take it because everyone and their grandma has been trying to dump old computers on them. I didn't want to throw the stuff away because it has toxic and recyclable materials. I called the local landfill and found out that they had a free electronics recycling center. I would really recommend calling your local garbage company to see about doing something like that.
It has a very logical structure. Learning German might actually help you with maths.
It does? I'm a native speaker of German, and I can't say it's very logical. Parts of it are, yes, but it's nowhere near mathematical. And it's a really tough language to learn as a second language because of all those things you have to know (the grammatical sex of every noun, the many irregular verbs, etc.).
German actually does have a very logical structure, but all natural languages do, syntactically speaking. They just seem weird to non-native speakers. As far as irregular verbs go, English has them, too. I think it's a normal feature of natural language to have irregularities with some of the most commonly used verbs.
