Our local Technical College just replaced all its CRTs with TFTs. They then had to scrap all their 15" and 17" CRTs - all perfectly usable. The local YMCA charity shop would not take them and the council recycling centre directed them to the Waste Electrical Goods Act approved recycling centre They wanted to charge them £7.50 a monitor to dispose of them. Since they had over 30 monitors this was a little expensive. The Council also does not allow the school to sell these on to anyone in case they get sued for faulty electric goods. We supplied the new TFTs so I got to hear of this and now a few of my friends have better monitors than they used to have.
What a stupid way to go about things and another short sighted piece of EU nonsense. Oh and Darren, more and more manufacturers of CRT monitors are announcing they will stop making them. Seems they will soon die out completely. -- Roy Wood Q Branch. 20 Locks Hill, Portslade, Sussex.BN41 2LB Tel: +44 (0) 1273 386030 fax: +44 (0) 1273 430501 skype : royqbranch web : www.qbranch.demon.co.uk _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
