While I was able to <a href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/2010\/12\/11\/free-computer-stuff\/\">give some away<\/a>, most of it was dropped off at Best Buy where they (in Michigan) accept up to seven hard drive-less items per day (including CRTs) at zero cost.<\/p>\n<p>Despite not having used some of this equipment in over ten years (such as the Dell Dimension XPS P90 pictured above, the first computer that I ever bought for myself) I can&#8217;t help but feel like I&#8217;ve given up something important. These are (were?) tools that I&#8217;d spent tens of thousands of hours building, using, and maintaining. Still, it&#8217;s just old stuff, and getting rid of it is for the best. I was not using this equipment and now instead of being clutter it&#8217;s being disposed of properly. Also, it&#8217;s probably best for me to dispose of this stuff now instead of in a few years when electronics recycling might not be so accessible or affordable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With today&#8217;s trip to Best Buy to take advantage of their recycling program I have completely done away with all my old computers, cases, and&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/2010\/12\/29\/old-computers-recycled\/\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Old Computers: Recycled<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13,6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3109","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-computers","category-electronics","entry"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3109","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3109"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3109\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3114,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3109\/revisions\/3114"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3109"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3109"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3109"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
