Hi Edgar,

	I hope you don't mind I post your mail to Squeak list.

	There are a couple questions I would like to find out 
	from those who are more informed.

Dear List,

I heard that in North America, computers of this vintage are 
recycled (at a cost) and there are millions of them. Is it true?

I am wondering if some big names would have them collected, containerized
and shipped to where they are still usable, what would be the cost?
