Old Tech

[KahrMan]

Was cleaning up one of our storage closets today and found a lot of old phones and tablets.   Technology moves at a pretty fast pace these days.  I am constantly buying new phones/tablets/devices and am replacing them at an increasing time frame.  I will never use this stuff again but I hate throwing crap away.  So these will sit in a box in our closet till I guess whenever I get tired of storing them.

 

 

Here are some old Macs we keep out for decoration.  From right to left you have an original Macintosh, Portable Macintosh, one of the early MacBooks and my favorite the "lamp" iMac.

1st pic are a lot of targets. 2nd pic the last on the right is a fish tank.

You could get the gold and silver from the old electronics.

How many thousands of dollars does that represent?

Well if they don't have sensitive information on them I can clear them out for you. 

 

Other than that I know some of the recyclers buy E-waste. Or Ebay.

You have no idea.  This is just a fraction of the phones I have.

A lot.  We always have to buy the newest phones when they come out for test devices.  We never do service contracts so we have to buy them at full retail.  I spent a little over 2K just this week buying 4 phone versions we didn't have.  It never ends.  Just a cost of doing business.

Ahhh. Now it makes sense.
