I have no idea if the cost is reasonable.  I'm considering taking out
a few hard disks and sending some old computers I've got.

I seem to remember some posts about recycling computers on BBLISA in
the last few months but a search of my email archive didn't turn it
up.  Am I just loosing it?  Could someone send me a link the the place
that clamed to destroyed/wiped enclosed media in a proper way along
with recycling the system?
