“Anybody know where your computer goes after the company you work for tosses it? Asia. Villagers are paid to strip the wires and recover all the metal they can. Problem is, they usually burn the wires to melt the plastic off which releases toxic chemicals into the air and there is hazardous lead and mercury in the cathode ray tubes...” 9:29:16 PM 4/10/02 “Bizkleet. In Kansas City there is a non-profit orgnaization that refurbishes old computers for resale. Since they sell only relatively late model computers, the rest goes to China. I have been told that most of the older computers are actually being used. China, on the whole, is so far behind on the tech side, that the old computers actually get a lot of use.” 11:21:32 PM 4/10/02 “They have one of those places by me. Recycle is good! 8)” 11:24:07 PM 4/10/02 “Bizkleet? Why I never! Wanted to, but...” 8:14:15 AM 4/11/02 “BUCK? HAHAAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHHAHAHHAhhhahahahahahahahaha...” 8:19:45 AM 4/11/02 “Sorry, Bizkleet, but you were caught by the Sipsey gang. There will have to be irrefutable proof before I believe otherwise.” 10:07:48 AM 4/11/02 “Recycle my old computer? Too much hassle. I just dump it in my local landfill.” 10:09:38 AM 4/11/02
