Printed out some bedtime reading material :)

There are guys on this board who dont even have digital cameras, and I gifted a laptop to someone because they didnt have one or it was a 486. We had a stack of Itronix Workbooks and Panasonic Toughbooks (cast aluminum/magnesium chassis and cases, could sit on it and it would not even hang the hard drive) 3 feet high. I asked where they were going and the guy said scrap. Off lease and worthless. So I boned out all the 1GB mem chips (2 per laptop), encrypted hard drives, wifi chips, LiPo batteries and put them back in the 'junk closet' with all the other 'too good to toss' crap. Only way you could use those HDD's was to do a low level format in a linux rig. Most were pretty small capacity.
