Re:too old (Score 1)

It's not just the money. We live in a very wasteful society. Think of all the cadmium, lead, germanium, copper, gold and silver metals that have been mined, transported, refined, manufactured. The energy that has gone into the processes, not just the primary processes of manufacture, but the secondary and tertiary of transport and staff. Trying to eek out the last usage of this kind of old hardware I think is commendable. Don't get me wrong I like modern hardware as well, but just to dispose of it without a second thought of how it might be used is wasteful.
