Where did people think those items they turned in to recycle were going
to end up? Most places don't want them put into landfills.
I'm sure M$ can make those b0rken boxen useful by putting some b0rken
"software' on them. Plus His Billness would get himself a nice little
tax writeoff by "donating" the garbage to his "charitable foundation"
for the purpose of "saving" those poor people in Nigeria.
