Yeah, it seems that's true, but I'm just a hobby scrapper right now. I take apart the electronics I find as a time-waster in the evenings at home. Down in the workshop: listen to the radio, drink a beer, break some stuff apart... you know how it is.

Thanks for the reply.

Shoot, I guess I'm not going to be taking phones apart anymore. Those screens are a pretty big chunk of the weight.
