Yes... and then you go to the council recycling site and there are 100 CCTV cameras making sure things go in, but not out. Not the way it should be at all... but thank the 'sue you' culture for making the council scared that if you take something and it cuts, burns or electrocutes you, it will be their head on the chopping block!  |

yet they carry on about how we waste so much, and need to reuse and recycle.

First time I really remember reading about nexgen was in some old issues of a swiss pc/microelectronics magazine, in german (my granpa had tough times translating to me, like my bro  ).
Really didn't get a word, but maybe having my brother translating (as long as you read charts or tech stuff language is less important), sure caused his hate for computers.
I don't know if nexgen came in proprietary case but BeBox did,

A few finds from the last week. The two dual slot 1 boards are the same model as the one I found about 3 weeks ago, one of them even having the same cpus down to the week. The other one had two P3 450 SL3CC chips on it! Four weeks younger than Neon_WA's one (week 9, 99). Surely it didn't take four weeks for the art department to come up with the Pentium III cartridge!

Of course you are right.
The business of recycling just works when "WE" let them some useful stuff. lol
But that's just the other side of the medal.
And contrary to the title of this topic:-)
So as long as it works for some of us... |

last pic great machine: Sun SparcLX
I had it as my workstation and home-testserver in the early nineties.
I got it working on the internet with its onboard ISDN, lol.
the small strange open package upper left with "sparc" on it is the CPU, the big green one is the video chip.
... and this one is fully loaded, 48 Megabyte of RAM, wow:-)
It seems, you killled an IPX too, I see the Weitek CPU and the other two PGAs from the board in your first pic.
Aah, that can be like digging for gold:-) |

Australia=collector-friendly country!
Praise whom ever
It is so depressing when I see the MOUNTAIN of old machines on the junkyard when I drop my garden garbage.
No chance... |

A few of the latest kerbside finds:
The goldtop Pentium is a A80502-75 SX961 from week 50 of 1994. I now have two of these, one three weeks younger than the oldest and one three weeks from the newest according to the Pentium timeline! The ST 6x86 is the first ST chip I have ever found on kerbside collections. The LGA cpu is a Core 2 Dua 2.4GHz/4M/1066 - the fastest chip I have found on kerbside collections.
