Could not resolve host: roi777.com Comments on: Great Lies of the Modern Era, #12 http://cheerleader.yoz.com/2006/05/great-lies-of-the-modern-era-12.html I came here to apologise and eat biscuits, and I'm all out of biscuits Fri, 25 Nov 2016 14:37:10 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.7.29 By: Dan http://cheerleader.yoz.com/2006/05/great-lies-of-the-modern-era-12.html#comment-947 Wed, 10 May 2006 16:51:14 +0000 http://cheertest.yoz.com/?p=252#comment-947 I’ve taken to pulling the drives out of my old boxes and hitting them with hammers, to make it clear to myself that I will never, ever use them again.
As for disposal – well, there’s Computer Aid – http://www.computeraid.org – for working and reasonably recent (P3 and above, I think) PCs. Most of my oldies are non-functional, however, and need van hire and a trip to my local recycling centre – recyclenow.org.uk should list your local centre.

I’ve got more desktop PCs with virtually zero RAM than I know what to do with. Even charities will only take one or two. Paper Round (http://www.paper-round.co.uk/), our office paper recycling company, does take them off our hands but they do charge. Alternative suggestions welcome.

Don’t laugh too hard, this is basically my business model 🙂
