[DM-MUG] disposing of computers

[Ray Bowler]

John,

Good point. I just talked to them and they are also very concerned 
about this. Tye ship them to United Recyclers in Chicago who break 
them down, recycle what they can and sell what they can for other 
use.  Keyboards, mice, TV and VCRs are also acceptable.
