the first time I saw that post from Joseph Sinclair,

containing the "search" hyper link

(the first post from him in this thread)

I did not even click on the "search" hyper link in it.

But now I have clicked there, and it clearly shows

Westech Recyclersı

-- in fact it was the first hit, when I tried it.

((note: I was using Chrome 1.0.154.59, not Firefox))

((does that matter? I noticed one of those URLs

contained something inside it about

"&client=firefox-a"... hmm...))

So, I will try to contact Westech on Friday.

However, when it comes to "RMS", I am still

trying to figure out how to find the link to that.

(I am assuming it has nothing to do with Stallman,

-- that "other" RMS -- the founder of the gnu project

-- also known for emacs, the gnu GPL, the lpf, etc.**n,

but I don't think he is known for recovering metal and

plastics from elderly "emeritus" appliances) (right?)

I even tried appending [" +RMS"] to the search string, giving this

["modified"] search:

I did get about 1402 hits, but I do not know which hit of them,

-- "if any" -- is the RMS that Joseph Sinclair meant.

sorry this is turning out to drag on for so long.

I guess this thread just got going ...

I did not intend to imply anything negative, only that if it's still usable, it can be donated.

I hope you'll look into one of the recycling places I mentioned, since it's entirely possible Westech will take it, and if they don't, then
RMS will at least recover the metal and recyclable plastics.
