It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Also, the iPod photo does not currently allow me to transfer photos directly off a memory card or by USB or firewire from a camera, right?

They have an optional iThingie that allows you to do that.

eta: somewhere towards the top of this page: [link]

eta²: there are two different things - one that can transfer from a camera to an iPod, and another (by Belkin) that can read various memory cards into an iPod.

Ooh!

Thanks, tommyrot.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Where's a good local place to which to donate (ugh, ugly grammar) a 17" CRT in good repair?

Apart from sports, "my secret favorite thing on earth is ketchup. I will put ketchup on anything. But it has to be Heinz." - my husband, Michael Vartan

My house? Assuming a CRT is some sort of TV.

Kidding. I would suggest Goodwill. But I really don't know.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I'm assuming it's a monitor with a VGA input, so mostly useless for TV purposes.

My default for donating stuff is the Salvation Army, mostly because they have a store near where I work.

Our wings are not tired.

We have a number of local charities that take working equipment, but not components. I have a garage full of used parts that I need to toss, but garbage rules say they harm the landfills and need to be recycled. The recycling centers charge you per pound when you drop stuff off. Unless I find a better solution I am about to toss stuff in various construction dumpsters around town.

Mostly lurking...

Huh. That's interesting, Laura. Our recycling will take one piece per household each week. Too bad they don't have something like that for you...

Our general recycling is great, but no computer parts option. I need to find a local repair shop and see if they want the stuff. Each time I have attempted to find a solution I get frustrated after a few wasted hours. DH says toss it, but my responsible side just can't.

Not local, but HP does hardware recycling, as does IBM for a charge.

I get why recycling has a charge, but it sure makes it seem less attractive. I don't need them to pay me for the crap, but if I have to get up and mail this thing, my ideals don't extend to paying for the privilege.

Looks like HP'd let me trade it in for $15 (or $30, if I bought a flatscreen monitor from them). Eh.

I think I'll look up my local Goodwill.

Thanks!
