Did anyone else rummage through computer garbage on Earth day?

[plastick]

So I was driving by a church and see a mountain of computers piled high. I whip my car around and grab my screw driver and jump out of my car. Two bloody knuckles and 30 minutes later, I have recovered a couple gigs worth of memory, several useful AGP video cards, network cards, large capacity hard drives, cases, and motherboards including a P3. Now this isnt the newest of hardware, but it is all working and very useful to me for parts, and I got it all for free!!

The church owner let me go through the stuff and said it was for Earth day or something... I dont know, I wasnt really listening to him since I was busy scanning the area for the best computers to dig through. He eventually kicked me out when other people started coming to go through the stuff.

What a day! It felt like Christmas.

Damn...thats sweet! I wish I could have landed on that treasure trove!

Sweet it was. But not as sweet as the time that I came upon a yard sale and found a brand new ATI Radion 9600 XT for only $5 plus a free box of old banking computer components which I later got $56 for on ebay.

I guess I have a gift now!
