No local freecycle group? http://www.freecycle.org All that stuff is
taken quickly, around here. Sometimes there are over 50 requests for an
item. People even take dead TVs and other electronics.

Thanks, I found one. Looks good ...

Better to give, than to toss!

aioe.org, Goggle Groups, and Web TV users must request to be white
listed, or I will not see your messages.

If you have broadband, your ISP may have a NNTP news server included in
your account: http://www.usenettools.net/ISP.htm


There are two kinds of people on this earth:
The crazy, and the insane.
The first sign of insanity is denying that you're crazy.

Here are more recycling ideas, but not quite as easy to replicate:

Kids, whether rich or poor, want the latest and greatest. They will
not be satisfied with someone's hand-me-downs.


A local volunteer group has a list of over 40 kids waiting for _ANY_
used computer they can get. They are trying to find enough parts to
catch up before Christmas day. They said most of the computers are Win
98, with 2 GB hard drives.

I tried to give away some Windows 2000 mahines (about 300MHz). I managed to give away 2. A further 15 kids asked if it could run XP then turned down the offer.

A guy goes to a psychiatrist.
"I'm in love with my horse," says the guy. "I desire my horse!"
"I see," says the shrink. "What kind of horse is it? Male or female?"
"Female of course! Do I look like some sort of pervert?"
