You could try [email protected] with your request. Many
old screens were thrown out over the years but the flow had diminished
to a trickle, but there may still be the odd one or two.
If they have some and you need them collected, please let me know.
(I worked for that company for over twenty years. I still work for the
same owner, but now for his marine division).
As companies have to pay to dump equipment these days, they may be
glad of someone who take them away - so try older companies as they
may be upgrading their PCs!

Quoting C A Wills <[email protected]>:
Hi All
My Church has two desktop PC's for the scrap heap so I've suggested
we offer them to someone who doesn't have a PC and would like to use
one.
It seems a shame to dump them and would provide someone a start with
Linux and free software. One thing I will insist on is feedback
from the users and they must be of 'reduced means'. I'm sure there
is someone who would like a start with computing.
They are too slow for present church use but would make suitable
'starter PC's'.
I intend to put Linux on then with a range of free software
(Libreoffice, Digikam, Firefox & Thunderbird (with Lightning)); I
hope to provide basic training to get them started.
One problem is the PC's do not have any screens, so I'm looking for
any old small (12+")LCD screens.
Does anyone have a screen which they would donate to this project please.
The local recycle centre are not allowed to pass on electrical
equipment, so that's a no-goer this time round.
Peter M - With your links to the Library do you know if the council
have any old screens going free, from closures ect: possibly?
