Tower of old laptops, do we want them?

I’m really against donating crappy computers to deserving organisations unless they come well tested and supported. They can get systems from places like freegeek, they’ll be tested and have a level of support that we can’t provide. I’ve worked for a few big companies, that had policies like this, give cash, people’s time or give nothing - ewaste everything so it goes into a system that sorts out the crap and distributes it fairly

My standards are pretty low, if I dispose of something, it needs to be melted down (if it hasn’t been already) - I think a lot of people at vhs are similar. This is likely to be junk, lets keep a few and move them on.

I was impressed by the state of the space when I last visited, ++ to everyone who’s put time into this. I put a lot of time into the bunker, I don’t have so much right now, but these things ebb and flow.
