Jas Posted September 27, 2003 Posted September 27, 2003 During my SW dev class yesterday i noticed a rathe rwrecked looking case with the side off and a fe bits and bobs flung inside. when i asked what was up with it my tearcher says its for the bin, so i offer to carry it out. Any way after pulling all the paper and . out of this thing i find a AMD athlon 2000+ in good condition, a 40gb hdd a CD-RW drive (24x ) and a gefore2 32mb card(which i sold) What the hell are they doing throwing this kind of stuff out oh and lots of fans Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

localguru Posted September 29, 2003 Posted September 29, 2003 yeah we thorugh old crap out to but nothing more than a 200 mgz. and we try to salvage floppies and had, and cd's. but we have to thorugh out crap all the time, cuase companies will donate them to the school, for the tax break, and then we have to despose of it even if it is crap. and if we dont except the crap the company looks on us badly and wont give things to us in the future. so it's kinda sucks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
