You need a better shooting range: Doug's Shoot-n-Sports allows us to
shoot old terminals, monitors, CPUs, etc. after the bowling pin meets on
Thursday night. They have a pile of waste to sweep up anyhow... ;^)

Fortunately we still get quite a few AOL floppies around here. I find
the perfect use for them is to make FreeBSD boot/fixit floppies from
them. ;^)
We should probably save all the AOL, Prodigy, and Compu$erve CD-ROMs,
someday we might be able to make a killer solar oven from the lot of
them.
