It always pains me every time I go to the local recycling centre and see all the stuff being trashed, with no opportunity to collect/take things. I can only assume that tons of good stuff still gets dumped every week. |

There is a 'reuse' section at my tip but they are very picky about what people leave in there, most of it is just books, I never see electronics there. Most stuff just gets put in the recycle/trash bins which you can't pick from. |

Yeah it was just listed on eBay, no one else bid. They had piles and piles and piles of newer macs (and other machines) that were all ready for shredding, including some retina iMacs. They do sometimes get older beige macs in so he’s gonna let me know next time he gets anything in. I did say I know a fair few people who may be interested in stuff too, so anything that comes up I’ll let you know!
I went through most of it last night, the majority of the machines actually work, some even fully boot! I really need to find some time to start dismantling these machines and refurbishing them all! |

I feel like I need to adjust my saved keywords... I swear I didn't see that one. |

That’s the listing in case it helps! |

What a steal. Two LaserWriter IIs as well. Nice one. |

Which has resulted in.. well.. I admit.. I have a problem.
View attachment 52965 That tire is taking up way too much space. |

That tire is taking up way too much space. 5 tires actually! One from my Zoe, and 4 winter tires for the XC90 I no longer have. Should really sell them! |

Well a pair went recently for £200 so at eBay prices for a battery bombed SE/30.. probably 0.3 😂 |

So what you're saying is it would be a net reduction in storage volume? 😀 Sounds like a win to me |

Todays haul isn’t actually macs.. I just picked up a large pile of Ikea Algot shelves for free which I’m super chuffed about because it means I can finally finish building the shelves in my garage! |

Hey guys.. my current conquest is trying to deal with some mental health issues at the moment.. I’m sorry if there’s something I’ve promised to send you and haven’t yet but there’s just bigger battles to be fought right now. |
Posted by: 3lectr1cPPC on 2023-04-20 07:32:33
Aw man... take all the time you need man. Mental health is important, keep up that fight! The macs can wait. |

I’m sorry if there’s something I’ve promised to send you and haven’t yet but there’s just bigger battles to be fought right now. Hope you feel better soon, we've all been there. It is good to focus on yourself and give the beige a break now and then. |

I know this feeling very well. Stay safe and look after yourself, we'll be here 🙂. Beige is not that important.
(and if there's anything I can do please let me know) |

Thanks guys! I’ve had a few good days, and actually yesterday was able to get myself down south to swap an SE for a faulty portable with @timoog who was lovely to meet 😊 |

A pleasure to meet you in the flesh @Durosity - the SE is a fun little thing, really like it and you went above and beyond to make it right |
