I can take a look at it, GC.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
I have an old desktop that I want to get rid of (got a new laptop). Does anyone know the best (easiest) way to dispose of it, either for profit or good karma?

Juliebird, if you're willing to donate it, try Googling "computer donation" + [your city]. I'm guessing a bunch of charitable organizations will turn up.
We have a handful of such organizations that accept donations of old computers and fix them up for inner-city schools, etc. And/or the Vo-Tech students get to work on them, and THEN they go to the inner-city schools. It's a win-win.

I've been trying to access the Seattle bus map for days, and it never works for me--the pages may partly load, but certainly not fully. Can anyone else get here or is it an issue with my computer/wireless? (Note: other websites are JUST FINE). If it is my issue...wtf?

Thanks, Steph, I really can't bring myself to bother with trying to sell it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Works fine for me. I'm mystified why the loading fails partway through.
You could try clearing your cache and see if that helps....

It works for everyone but me? Damn. I tried clearing the cache just now too (um, you mean just hit the "clear cache" button under preferences in Firefox, right? There's nothign more complex than that?)

Was still unable to fully load pages of the Seattle bus stuff....apparently it's my internet connection, rather than my computer--I just surfed to a neighbor's open WiFi, and downloaded everything Just Fine.
So, WTF is up with my internet, yo? Why would it not work for that one site/domain? Everything else seems to load fine--b.org, LJ, NYtimes, etc.
