Other items include "VizaStar" software for the 1980s classic, the Commodore 64 computer, and an old mobile phone, the Motorola Pocket Classic 1200." Er...nothing I'd get excited about. Husband has an even older cellphone stuffed into a drawer here. If the 1200 is special, his one must be amazing. I rarely have e-waste anyway, always have a waiting list for old PC bits......usually I have a shortage. Friend received my 19" CRT a while ago -she was overjoyed as she hates LCDs. There you go...I bet there were lots of useful bits that got trashed. The local paper here said there were a few LCD monitors dumped too. Could be used by small schools for one thing...... |

They had a yard full, and I mean full, of preware motorbikes, many going back to the 1920s. In those days you could buy such a bike for about $5 :thumbs: They all went to the tip....................:groan: :horrified :mad: :crying |
