[Noisebridge-discuss] Hardware donation?

[Ben M]

I'm not sure old hardware should ever ever be "recycled" after watching 
this talk I did not hear at 28c3 where I did not attend but sadly I do not 
have the money to store your old computer junk and in 20 years people 
might be cursing everyone who threw a P4 away, like REALLY cursing them.

I am going to invest in lottery tickets. Old Hardware FTMFW.
