We're about to dump a bunch of our old computers, monitors, and printers in preperation for new gear. I spent part of the day today hunting for recycling outfits, and ended up deciding that it was cheaper and easier to go with a private "e-waste" hauler. I found out that a flat fee of $150 will get 1 TON of computer equipment removed from your business by big burly guys with the tools to move.
In contrast the compter recycling center near us charges $10 for each monitor. We have 15 monitors that we're dumping, so for the same price I could have the pleasure of loading a van several times to personally remove our antique equipment.
I just thought is was interesting that we ARE in California and yet we still have to pay to recycle at the end of the life of the equipment, not just when it's purchased. Do monitors fall outside of the state subsidy?
because these comic book to big screen movies are much better when the original creator is involved. I think that Frank Miller really helped keep Sin City true to the books.
Wal-Mart had no chance in succeding in this market to begin with. The reason they are so huge in retail and goods trade is because they buy in such huge volume that they can virtualy control the companies who supply their stores.
It seems that this law will be pretty tough to keep on top of. Although they have spelled out their definition of spyware there are surely loopholes. It's like hitting a moving target.
Is there going to be any way of truly tracking down the "criminals" or will this be dependant on individual users reporting offenders? I don't know many people who know enough about their computers to diagnose a problem like spyware let alone turn that information into law enforcement.
Actually these minis are really great replacements for old broken down machines when very little performance is needed
(i.e. receptionist and doorman computers)
But thanks for your concern about our computer set-up!::::jack ass::::
Thanks for the info. I'm about to do an upgrade to our office and wanted to get rid of our clunky G3 and G4 towers in lieu of some mini Macs. It's good to know that we should invest a few FW400 drives.

Hey! I owned an 8088 and besides having to use a hammer to add your expanded 640k of RAM it was a great little piece of shit!
Will the robots know what we mean when we take over the moon and tell them...

It's good to see them lose some ground either way.

I can already feel my fingers and wrists burning from the button mashing that will soon commence.
