    Every time I look at the guts of a CPU I still think of the trillions of dollars in research that got us from vacuum tubes to todays multi core beasts. There is more too it then just gold wires.

    I know what you mean I am amazed with some of the stuff people give me for scrap. Then I search ebay and there is no market for it so it gets scrapped and I think about the $$$ people paid for the stuff a few years ago.
