I can't believe some list members here dive into dumpsters for computers.
That's dangerous. There could be dangerous,sharp items inside some. Toxic
residues (not all companies respect the environment), Legal reasons (maybe?)
not to enter one.

There are so many better ways to find old computers in much better condition
than something thrown into a dumpster with everything else piled on top.
