That wasn't the case for the one near me (pay to dump garbage... in NJ?
BAH! We love toxic waste, we like to build sports stadiums on it).
The one that had been near me told me they wouldn't take them, because
they got sick of people expecting support, or wanting to return them when
Windows crashed. Since they had a strick "All Sales As Is, All Sales
Final" policy, they were simply tired of pointing that out to people. So
they stopped selling CPUs to avoid the headaches.
