Random thoughts from a few cantankerous American physicians. All contributors are board certified. Various specialties are represented here. I do not know where this will lead but hope it will at least be an enjoyable read. All of the names mentioned in this blog are pseudonyms, the ages have been changed, and in half the cases the gender as well. All photographs are published with patient consent or are digitally altered to preserve anonymity. Trust us, we're doctors.
I don't have one, but may I suggest you check out your local freecycle.org as well?

need a monitor?
ReplyDeleteBe careful not to label this activity as "recycling" of old computers. This would fall under the "green" movement and you'd owe Al Gore a royalty (anybody see the report that said that he'd made about $100,000,000 off of the "green" movement? I didn't fact check that figure, but I know he's made a bundle).
ReplyDeleteOh, sorry. I guess this is a non-political post too. As my kids say: "my badddd" (or as the sheep at Texas A&M said: "my baaaaaad").

I may have an old desktop. No guarantees yet, but I will see what I can find. I'll let you know in the next few days.
ReplyDeleteNo Old Computers, but I've got 19 gallons of used motor oil takin up space in my Garage...
ReplyDeleteGotta few filters too...
I'd use it myself but the HOA frowns on Bonfires....

I may have a laptop we could send ya. Hit me up at medicthree@gmail.com and I'll see if I can dig it out and hook you up.
ReplyDeleteI have a spare 17" CRT monitor, you have my e-mail. Let me know.
ReplyDeleteI have a balky HP laptop, a fine machine, but it needs work. I'm pretty sure it could be easily fixed, as the problem is with "torsion", the bending of the machine from too many hours of my wrists lying beneath the keyboard. If I bend the case, it works fine, so it's probably a loose connection in the motherboard.
ReplyDeleteOne stipulation: The entire hard drive must be reformatted, to wipe out everything on it. There is far too much on there of a priviliged and confidential nature for me to have done anything with it, prior to now. With a promise that the hard drive will be wiped, the laptop is yours and I will ship it.
TO ALL WHO HAVE RESPONDED TO THIS REQUEST. THANK YOU. I WILL TAKE ALL OFFERED HARDWARE AND WILL BE HAPPY TO REIMBURSE THROUGH PAYPAL. THIS POST IS NOW NON STICKY AS THE GOAL HAS BEEN ACHEIVED. THANK YOU. SEND TO MDOD EMAIL THE INVOICE FOR SHIPPING TO MONTEREY TN. WILL PROVIDE CORRECT ADDRESS BY RETURN EMAIL. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
ReplyDeleteDEAR CJRUN. PARTICULARLY INTERESTED IN YOURS. PLEASE EMAIL.

Mine has shipped; I emailed the details to mdod.blog; delivery should be Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteI'm a lurker on your site (love it, by the way!). I have a Mac desktop that could use a new home if you still would like it. It's a little "loved" on the outside (my littlest labeled it with her name in Sharpie...I'll try a little rubbing alcohol on that), but seems to run just fine. Let me know, I'm off to the post office on Monday and could have it on its way.
