@wooliex @tshirtman @mcc You're right. I'm muddying the waters by bringing in-class usage into this. There are good discussions to be had there, but this is about e-Waste.

Pictured is a big block of laptops that could be given a second life and be useful to a community. Instead, most are probably destined for landfills. That's all of our problem. Anyone nearby pays that bill. Shipping it overseas is just making it someone else's problem.

The bottom line isn't the only line.
