Street light saga (continued)

[pinkteddyx64]

Update: Couldn't be bothered sorting out anything so the IT department at university are recycling the machines

Should've given them to me.

They wouldn't let me have such items though, because if something was to happen to them, they (the university) would be responsible! So, for example, if I got an electric shock from the case of the computer (because it wasn't earthed very well, or a fault occurred whereby the earth wires became live), then DMU would be responsible for the incident.

However, I have been told that all IT equipment that is recycled, gets picked up by a company who then sell the items from there. So hopefully, they won't end up going in the bin

Anyway, what use would I have for a 10 year old Mac machine, and a 2005 spec XP machine that is less powerful than my Fujitsu Lifebook E8020 that I bought off eBay for £16.50?

A bit like the reason why I couldn't give you old street lights the council were replacing because they wouldn't let me have them, as apparently they would be liable if there was a fault with them!

Hopefully, we will be able to get the lights next time though, since they will just send them to a recycling center, whereas we will be able to use them as street lights, or sell them on

This is why you never see that many street lights on eBay!
