Man, almost made me cry seeing those mechanical-keyswitch keyboards in the trash heap. :( Those things last for-freaking-ever. Still trying to get my hands on one!
@SigEpBlue I love those old keyboards too. Most people dont care about vintage computing, so most just discard it. Lots of Youtube vids show hoodlums destroying these old gems.
Anyone do Scrap4treasure? Would love to share experiences. I'm finding gold and silver scrap where I never knew it existed. My gmail address is jhoag53g.
Whos getting the bling from all those comps? Its not a lot in each one but I bet it adds up! And I bet the poor people in the 3rd world nations we send our old comps to, to be broken down dont see a dime of it!
I wonder? Where do TV and monitor tubes go. I know there are lots of toxins like mercury, lead, and cadium; those are very dangerous chemicals(Where do you guys dump these tubes. It is the most serious environmental problem in the world). I saw your video break down computer parts those kind of things anyone can recycle, reuse and which everyone can do, let me know where you guys dump the tubes.
We deal with an ISO 14001 registered glass to lead processor domestically. All of the glass and lead material from the tubes get recycled 100%. We understand the importance of recycling all of the materials. We appreciate your inquiry.
I own a 2001-era Sony Vaio desktop P3 and a Dell DImesnion P2 from late 1999, and they STILL WORK!!! Sheesh, most ppl throw out a comp if the CD drive dies!

I use my computer to replace a tv,radio,music system,for the most part my cellphone,home studio,gaming console,and even my radiator in some occasions.
Plus i buy most of my computer hardware second hand.
The problem with most people is that they need everything but don't use it when its there.
