I’m getting set up for the day, scanning the headlines, and what do I see: Office Depot offers to recycle old PCs. Evidently, during the summer (i.e., until Labor Day), Office Depot is permitting customers to recycle one computer product a day for free. This is confirmed on the Office Depot site. The fine print indicates that:
you may return one printer, scanner, fax machine, personal computer (including mice and keyboards), desk-top copier, monitor, TV and TV/VCR combination unit (27″ and smaller – measured diagonally), digital camera, or cellular phone per day. They won’t take anything broken or pure-VCRs, and its up to you to remove all your data.
I guess this means you must return the monitor separate from the computer. Still, this looks like the way to safely get rid of some of our equipment that is too old to donate, such as our 286 laptop or our 486/33 Windows 3.1 system. More ways to clean out the garage. I love it!
If I do multiple entries today, you’ll see a trend in the music (actually, it started last night). For some reason, I’m in a Cy Coleman mood today. Cy Coleman has some of the brassiest and jazziest scores around. So I’ve brought in my complete collection (well, I forgot one, which I’ll bring in tomorrow): [Disclaimer: The pictures are links to Amazonit was the easiest way to get the images]
as well as two albums by the Cy Coleman Jazz Trio and Music From The Life: A New Musical (1995 Concept Cast).
