And they charge for monitors - I suppose it's because of all the INTENSE chemicals that have to be safely recycled. Just went to the freegeek site- looks great.

Sori not to have replied before -- someday I will get more nerdy!!! Our local waste management folks also recycle any computers they can fix to Vermonters but it costs the person who MAKES the donation which can sometime be a bit hard to convince folks makes sense.

If anyone is in the Portland, OR area (slim chance, I know) there is an organization called Free Geek: http://www.freegeek.org which does amazing work in recycling old computers, refurbishing them, and getting them to people. Their slogan: "Helping the needy get nerdy." :) That’s great- I’m really glad to hear they are doing that.
