Re: Why do companies throw out good computers?
I'm retired from the state department and when we did computer upgrades we removed the hard drives and then physically tossed the computers in the dumpster.
The removed hard drives were then dissembled and the platters removed and placed into a crusher and destroyed.
It's just easier to toss them into the dumpster than to donate them or give them away due to all of the red tape crapola.
As a state department IT employee I was able to always grab as many of these as I wanted once tossed away in the dumpster.
I believe it all boils down to legal crapola and liability.
Under certain circumstances, profanity provides a relief denied even to prayer.
