    Wealth of Information

    Well I just wanted say thanks to all here who have shared their time and knowledge to make this such a great forum with tons of information.



    Just finished reading the 75 pages of General Electronics Recycling.

    When I started reading the old post I had a few questions I wanted answers to, what I found was the answers to those questions.

    I also found the answers to questions I never would have thought to ask if I would not have read through all the post. It was well worth the time spent gaining a great amount of valuable knowledge.

    I'm deeply indebted to all who shared here with the wealth of information.


    Thanks !
    James

    We purchase laptop computers and many components for greater than scrap value. We offer a shipping reimbursement program.replies

    I'm glad that we were able to help! Hopefully, I gave useful advice somewhere.... I like to think that I do sometimes

    If you come across something that you don't see an answer for, feel free to ask. We're all glad to help!

    Happy reading!

    Thank you. I wish each new member would read just your opening post here. Your statement is the reason I have given to lots of new members over the years to dig into the old threads and just read. 73 Mike

    I can't speak for the other members, but James, you post has made my day. To me, your 1 post has made up for all the past post from new members who won't take the time to read.
    Thank you James!!

    Jimicrk, Thanks for the kind words, glad it made your day a little brighter.

    Forums are just like a like of things in life in that we get back what we put into it.

    I see so many threads on the different forums I frequent where someone asks a question or is need of help immediately needs and after a few post they disappear without even a thanks.

    A simple thanks goes a long way on forums and in the world.

    As I said before I'm in awe of the generosity of a great number of members here. Thanks again for making this such a great forum.

    I'm with op. You guys have given me a wealth of knowledge in the time I've been on here. I don't remember how I came across the forum, but I'm glad I did. I lurked for a while, joined, and eventually became a paid member. With all I've learned, I'm gearing up to start a full blown registered business. I couldn't have done it without you guys. Well, I may have been able to, but it'd take 10 times as long. Lol. Everyone on here is friendly and helpful, especially the handful of regular posters. If any of you were ever in my area, I'd gladly make time to invite you over for a beer. So thanks to you all from myself as well.

    Sir, Nashville could be a source of some good jokes for you. I could contribute a lot if you need help.

    No need, I believe jokes about Tenn. are to easy, one just has to add in <tenn city here> instead of West Virginia.



    I will keep your offer in mind tho should I ever need some new material.

    An c'mon man...who doesn't like free beer! If you throw in a Chicago Hot dog I'll personally come an give you free ewaste tutoring for the price of beer an hot dogs!

    Don't think that's as good of a bargain as that appears, I can drink a beer or 12.

    Sirscrapalot - Off to plan a visit to Chicago..been awhile since he's been there.

    Sirscrap, I'll throw in the hot dog as well. But if you ask for ketchup, the beer is your responsibility. We don't take kindly to that kind of behavior around these parts. Lol.

    I know better then that. I've visited before.

    Asking for Ketchup in Chicago is a sure fire way to cement boots.

    That's like asking for warm beer. Just wrong.

    Sirscrapalot - Seeking: One lost salt shaker. If seen please contact the maker of this post.

    Found: One lost shaker of salt. It's located in Margaritaville.

    It's nice to see people reading the archives. There were many knowledgeable members that aren't here anymore- this is the only way to learn from them.
