Re: Laptop recommendations?


 Hi All,

I used to sell all of those old computers you are talking about. 

Duane, look around for an e-recycler. They take everything -- copiers,
printers, TVs, fax machines, computers, etc. Our town has a once/year
drop-off at a central location. You put your stuff in a truck and they
haul it away. The rest of the year, you take your stuff to the
e-recycler's location, or if it's too big, you pay them to come and get
it.

My husband insists on keeping his 20-lb Osborne up in the attic, for
sentimental reasons.

Regards,
Lois
