> charles lenington I find the guidelines to be absurd, but the problem with monitors is the lead in the solder joints, the "heavy-metal" they talk about. They don't really mention the glass CRT other than to say it's recyclable. I'd always thought that if you take in the analog board from the monitor, the plastic housings and the glass CRT separately, you may get it recycled. Otherwise there's about a $15 or more fee to dispose them. YET the CPU's, having analog boards with that "heavy metal", are perfectly legitimately recyclable. So are the mice and keyboards with solder joints....... Jeff G. -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
