All of those 486 processors? Gone. Flatbed scanners purchased 6 presidential administrations ago? Met their reward. Somehow. Not sure of the specifics, but presumably someone comes along to the Electronic Recycling Station in Bolingbrook, pokes through the piles and harvests enough gigabytes to cobble together a computer named HAL that takes over Will County. Something like that. And I am all for it. So much better than hurling all of this junk into the landfill, which is just too irresponsible and guilt-inducing.
My thanks to Nancy, who told me in the beginning of the Great Basement Reclamation project that electronics could be dropped off at 299 Canterbury Lane, Bolingbrook, IL.
You can drop off batteries there, too.
Is that not the best?

yes, but it *may* be a Will County thing only...not sure.
I did think it was spam, actually. Care to explain it?
2001 A Space Odyssey. HAL was talking to Dave the astronaut and trying to get him to stop from shutting him down. With each progressive step that Dave took HAL got wearier and talked slower. Eventually HAL ends up singing a school kid song.
