[Year 12 IT Apps] machine handmedowns..and OC1/OC2 query..

[andrew barry]

I am annoyed i am dumping 2 good 19 inch crt monitors and 1 old p2 PC.

they all work fine and NO ONE will take them away without a cost. One
offered $100 to take them away.

Not only can we get no money for them no charity (salvos is 1) wants then
either.
so unles anyone wants them they are being out out on the street to be taken
away by the council.
