Disposing of old computers
An old friend and I were chatting yesterday when he mentioned something that really shocked me. Apparently at his university, when they want to upgrade their PCs, they just throw, and I mean throw, the old PCs out on to the road. There they lie, broken and smashed, for the garbage man to collect.
Come on, at least place it properly or sell it. Just because the university is paying for the PCs doesn’t mean that you have to throw the old ones out. Selling them at about $100 or even less could give the university a lot of money, which would otherwise go wasted.
What’s your opinion on this?

Can you please tell me where it is “thrown”?;)

@Mukunth: It’s in Sydney. That’s about all I know…
Besides, I have the same idea that you do…

@curses: Would you like to set up a server cluster or something? That’s close to a hundred odd PCs, from each department…
