[LINK] 1.6m computers into landfill, 1.8 into storage

[Kim Holburn]

Hey there's a killer web app:

A sort of reverse ebay where you auction to find the cheapest dump, +  
freight!!!!

Actually on thinking about it getting someone to pay to take it off  
your hands would be better and that's what ebay is about.  Combine  
reverse ebay with ebay and you'd have a winner.
