    Not handy, but for example my HP 4 SI printer has a 25Mhz RISC processor inside.

    My first big pick was about 30+ computers and 40+ printers, copiers and scanners, mostly old stuff from the 90s. Computers were great. Lots of pentium chips and a dozen 486s. Broke all the computers down and sent 141lbs to ewasted. Still waiting for them to go through the shipment. Now the work begins with the printers. There are a couple of old heavy mita's. I think they must weigh close to 100 lbs each. Can't wait to see what's in them.

    Maybe I'm too picky. I hate dealing with the printers. There's just too much plastic. But I didn't know about Staples deal.... I have 20 or so printers just piling up. I guess when it slows down (which I hope it never does) I'll break them down and really see what's going on.
