You wouldn't believe what i found in trash...

Hi! On Tuesday March 23rd 2004 i was in the next city over where i live on the bus and i was looking out the window and i saw a computer tower in the trash sitting there looking all to interesting to my mind. Well on the way home i got off the bus and walked up to the trash pile where it was sitting and looked at it and thought that it looks like it would be interesting to see what it has on its hard drive. So i grabed it and preceded to wait for the next bus to come along so that i can try out my new baby when i get home. So when i got home i had somethings to do and didn't have a chance to try it out until this evening. I have great news to tell all you people...I hooked it upto a monitor and a keyboard and i plugged it in the power source and i turned on the power and it actually booted up with no problem. Just that the operating system in it is windows 95 but thats okay and i have to get the mouse port secured into the tower so that when i use the mouse the hook up won't come loose. But other than that it is a really great system. I can't believe that i found it in the trash. cool eh? it's amazing the stuff that people throw away these days...

well have a nice one!!!

Cyndi...

How it changed my life:

I love computer's there great to have around. This is my second one.

Date: 3/25/2004 10:23:00 PM  From Authorid: 11341    Ha cool!  
Date: 3/25/2004 10:38:00 PM  From Authorid: 42568    I'd check to see if it has a virus or worms... I'm surprised they didn't just sell it. Beside that... sounds like you've had a good day!  
Date: 3/25/2004 10:54:00 PM  From Authorid: 53909    Right on. Reminds me of this saying..something like someone's trash can be someone's treasure..something like that.lol  
Date: 3/25/2004 11:10:00 PM  From Authorid: 36901    I agree with Bethann. Other than that, very cool.  
Date: 3/25/2004 11:36:00 PM  From Authorid: 53052    kewlies!! i know at one point we tossed out an insanely old one that could barely handle win95 and was slow as all heck but it looks like you got a great perk!  
Date: 3/26/2004 12:21:00 AM  ( Admin )   Really cool, if you find information just delete it. People can press charges if you even mention that you would like a reward for discovering the information (they would call that extortion).
Date: 3/26/2004 2:43:00 AM  From Authorid: 25390    That's really weird! Just be careful of what is on that computer. The best thing to do would be to reload windows and start new. Other than that, how cool!  
Date: 3/26/2004 3:09:00 AM  From Authorid: 37101    A friend of my mom's found a computer that his work was just tossing out because they were upgrading their systems. While the innards of the computer weren't really up to par with what I wanted, I was able to sell off the parts and then use the tower (it's a huge tower, two CD drives and a floppy drive) to transfer my existing computer into. I like it. Heh. -

Date: 3/26/2004 4:09:00 AM  From Authorid: 33517    What a great find!...Good luck with your new toy...**Big Canadian Hugs**  
Date: 3/26/2004 5:46:00 AM  From Authorid: 17081    Wow, I'm surprised they just threw it away. You would have thought that they could have donated it or something. At least its getting good use.  
Date: 3/26/2004 6:04:00 AM  From Authorid: 51292    Wow you really lucked out. LOL 8o)  
Date: 3/26/2004 9:53:00 AM  From Authorid: 24732    Geez, I never throw away my old computers, I still have an old Amiga from the 80's and two other computers from the 90's. If I were you I'd check out the files and cache, you could find something illegal on there. And Window's 95 is not bad, if I remember right that came with Visual Basic.  
Date: 3/26/2004 10:35:00 AM  From Authorid: 26363    A friend of mine found one put out to trash also. But when he hooked it up there was tons of porno in it. Be careful. Morningglory

Date: 3/26/2004 12:15:00 PM  From Authorid: 53054    There is a roomer that in the city which i live there is this rich family who have a son, the son likes computers very much and buys a new one everytime he thinks his system is old (like once a month or something) and he just puts the computer on the lawn of his house! I personally dont believe it but who know! Great find by the way!
