In days gone past I used to accept ancient things to keep them going, rather than scrap them, and at the moment we're resurrecting some ancient non-computer equipment. At times I'd considered passing on things I don't need through ebay, and the like, but worked out that much of the time you won't be providing much needed bits to someone desperate for them, you're providing cheap materials to sharks who'll just try to sell them at obscene prices. Often breaking up working, or workable, units into bits for maximum profit. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.62.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Apr 5 16:57:59 UTC 2022 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
