RE: [OT] Gateway Monitor Repair

Not only is this sad, it should be deemed criminal if they fully work.

I know various charities and community groups who'd benefit from these=20
things, not to mention recycle-IT.

shame, real shame...

This'll make you cry.....

I've sat here and watched as about 600 monitors (of various vintages,
but=20
about half those were 17" Compaq ones), have been carried (very
roughly)=20
past my desk, and thrown (equally as roughly) into the back of a lorry, to=
=20
be taken away and "disposed of" over the last 5 weeks...

All serial number recorded unfortunately, so no chance of
"diverting" any o=
f

them into the boot of my car... :-(
