Once more on the subject of electronics--I called the town department of public works on Friday just to be sure we didn't have some kind of electronics recycling program. We don't, but! the very helpful woman at the DPW told me that one of the local elementary schools was having an electronics waste collection fundraiser on Saturday. I'm not entirely sure how the fundraising aspect of it all worked, but I think we paid the school to take our electronics, and then somebody donated the actual recycling, so the school could keep the money. We got rid of a big pile of stuff for $35 *and* helped a school, yay!

We do still have two items up for grabs: one DVD player in working order (may not play VCDs, I can't remember), and one DVD-R/VCR combo unit in mostly working order. The DVD-R side of the combo unit started having issues playing any DVDs that were not commercial or generated by itself (i.e., DVD-Rs made by other machines, VCDs, small semi-commercial runs). The DVD-Rs it makes, though, seem to play fine on other systems. So if you have a bunch of VHS you want to convert, this is the machine for you! it will do menus on the burned DVDs and everything. Either of these items are free to whoever wants to come get them.
