RE: [OT] Gateway Monitor Repair

["Paul Gordon" <paul_gordon@xxxxxxx>]

This'll make you cry.....

I've sat here and watched as about 600 monitors (of various vintages, but
about half those were 17" Compaq ones), have been carried (very
roughly)
past my desk, and thrown (equally as roughly) into the back of a lorry, to
be taken away and "disposed of" over the last 5 weeks...

All serial number recorded unfortunately, so no chance of
"diverting" any of
them into the boot of my car... :-(
