I used to live down the street (then "800 miles on I-10") from Reddy, but not anymore. :-( Maybe we can see a silver lining if we're sure that the stuff that got thrown away was stuff that 1000's of other people already have anyway. Still makes me sad to see any old cool electronics thrown away. :-(

There is a Goodwill around here. They have this huge trash compactor in the back.

One time I saw one of those big garbage cans out in front of someone's house the day before garbage pickup. There was like 6 monitors in there (under a sack of mostly empty beer bottles). I knocked on the guy's door to ask if I could root through his garbage but he wasn't there, so I went home, got a wagon and hauled those bad boys home. Too bad only 2 powered up, and one of those had no brightness control so it was dark. The other I used for a few months until it exploded. But, the coolest thing was that I got to smash 5 dead monitors with a sledge hammer! WOOHOO!! Turns out that tossing them up in the air doesn't cause much damage. You gotta give them what for... then find a dust pan to clean up all the silvery dust.  :destroy:  :destroy:  :destroy:  :destroy:  :destroy:  :destroy:  :destroy:  :destroy:
