[ale] OT: Anyone here recycle computers?

[Rich Faulkner]

My basement was on it's way to doing that.  My wife intervened.  

I do have 1000 sq.ft. of unfinished but powered basement with good
concrete floor to smash stuff-up.  I was aware of the hazmats as well
but have heard this was a growing industry.  (Has my curiosity)
