    No Longer Lurking

    I have been reading this board for about a month and decided to take the plunge. I enjoy reading the posts on this board, and some of the information has already helped me to avoid some minor pitfalls.



    I began building and maintaining my own computers when I was a teenager. I have been hoarding various computer parts and wires ever since. It never occurred to me what to do with some of the things I acquired that did not get put into a computer. I am now kicking myself thinking of all the stuff that didn't wind up in a plastic bin in my closet and got tossed in the dumpster.

    I have been scrapping for a couple of months now. I would like to concentrate on eWaste, but I am not going to let other opportunities pass me by which is why I am here. I appreciate all that I have learned from you folks so far.
