Ian, this is fantastic!

I'm likely to be on the end of a chain of computer recycling, basically, If I 
can't find a use for it, then the box is due for the breakers. If I knew it 
were possible to regularly get rid of a relatively small amount of hardware 
in an eco-sane manner I, and the community groups I'm involved with would 
gladly pay a small fee so a Glastonbury collection could happen. This would 
also speed up the recycling process from my end and allow me to get more 
useable machines to the places that need them.

Obviously a major part of my personal recycling strategy is to install 
GNU/Linux. ;-)
