You should have just gave your old computer junk to C@thy to take back to Calgary with her. You can just drop it off at any Staples in Calgary. <br /> <br /> They even recycle old speakers, you name it. I had a huge pair of circa 1989 oak venear speakers, that at one time doubled as tall end tables. I just unearthed them from the basement this week and off they went to Staples to be stripped down. I'm not sure what they will do with those parts but they are outta my basement that's all I know.<br /> <br /> I love the quote....I hope you enjoy your dump. Very clever.

And one large enough it's not in danger of being accidently shoved in my ear..<br /> <br /> I heard that the "brick" phones, refurbished, were all the rage in Japan.<br /> <br /> My first cell phone was something from radio shack called a transportable. It was a handset connected via a cord to a 12 pound battery/transmitter that had an ergonomic ( don't believe that was a word back then) strap to carry the behemoth over your shoulder. I was the envy of nerds everywhere.<br /> <br /> btw: I wonder who would get a better signal in border line places, your Mom's phone or a modern 3g device? I would bet money on the one with the external antennae.<br /> <br /> To the William Tell Overture:<br /> <br /> "to the dump, to the dump, to the dump, dump dump.."<br /> <br /> Just the mostest fun..

I LOVE LOVE LOVE that phone! That is IT. I am throwing my blackberry in the garbage right now and I am going to go surf the electronics graveyards for an inspector gadget cellphone right now! I can just see it now....you're holding it and chatting on it and then all of a sudden a couple helicopter blades would pop out of the top of the antenna and whisk the talker away :) Aunt Audrey better watch it next time I am in town, I just might help myself to it :) Thanks for posting that it totally made my day! I totally wish I was there! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE that phone! That is IT.
