[TriLUG] [NCSA-discuss] Fwd: OT: free computers, monitors, palm, ethernet gear, tapes, cables

[John Franklin]

That's just it, Purple Elephant isn't computer recycling, it's  
computer reuse.  Yes, there are lots of electronics recyclers in the  
DC area, including the EPA [1], but what I'm looking for is someone  
who will take really old hardware and put it to good use.
