Great find Alex,
our computers at work get replaced every two years, it's a bit silly as there is nothing wrong with them and they could easily go for for three or four years.
I was asking the techs what happens to all these computers and do they get donated to schools. To my surprise he reckoned that schools dont want them because they are not up to date, some are sold to ex govt surplus stores and the rest are dumped.
What a waste, the local govt claims times are tight and put everything up to raise more money yet they can afford to stick a new computer in every ones office whether it's needed or not.

Cheers
