Its a perfectly functional Compaq Presario, I got the tower with a full office software package, the monitor, a cordless mouse and keyboard, speakers and all the leads and cables.
I was putting glass into the recycling bank when the guy arrived with this in his car.Being the friendly chap that I am I struck up a conversation with him and he told me the reason he was dumping the P.C. was because he had just gotten a new laptop and if I wanted the pc I was more than welcome to have it.
He was of the opinion that, because it was more than 3 years old it was only fit for the dump.
It makes one wonder how much other stuff has ended up in landfill because people don't realise everything has a reusable value to someone.

What a shame that so many end up dumped instead of reusing the useful parts.
Our grandchildren will be amazed at the waste of all resources at this time. When are we going to call a halt to it all?...When it's too late?
