We are continuing to accept old computers, monitors, printers and computer parts for recycling at Eldorado Computer Works. Bring them by Tuesday - Saturday from 10am to 6pm. Most get recycled but some of the better ones are reconditioned for sale at the store or donated to local non profits.
This week one was donated to Adaptive Ski Program. http://www.adaptiveski.org/
Last week someone dropped off the oldest computer we had seen in a long long time, an original IBM AT. Most people don't even remember what that was and it predates most of our children. It is the second generation of Intel based PC computer and uses the Intel 80286 processor. It was so old we couldn't even start it up. The store didn't have a keyboard or monitor that would work with a computer that old.
In last weeks La Tienda newsletter we asked everyone to email a guess of when this computer was manufactured. The closest guess was by Wendy Victor. Her guess of June 1985 was off my only one month. This blast from the past was made in May 1985. This near bullseye won her a 50 pack of DVD-R media.
