going off topic a bit with this one sry...
i was working in a council IT dept the other week and the guy i was with showed me the basement where all the old equipment went. not stuff that was broken, just was being replaced.
the previous week they had got rid off 100 monitors and there was still at least this much left, all iiyama monitors 17" to 23" !
not only monitors but there were full systems, laptops, b/w and colour laser printers and pretty much everything else that gets used in an office. ALL IN WORKING ORDER.
what is even more crazy is that the council have to pay a firm to take away and dispose of the stuff 'properly'.
they used to sell off the stuff to the employees with proceeds going to charity (like £5 for a full system!!!). but there are all rules and regulations etc that prevent this now.
i tried but they wouldnt let me have a 23" monitor
