The Globe and Mail: Business IT garbage is a goldmine for charities: "One organization's computing trash is another's information technology treasure.
There is a trove of IT waste that exists among larger organizations -- stockrooms filled with old computing hardware deemed no longer capable of supporting the processes and applications of the business. It's electronic trash that typically ends up being stored or, worse, discarded in a landfill or offshore 'recycling' facility. Few would imagine there's any use for such obsolete gear.
But there is.
Consider those for whom IT is a scarce commodity -- charities and non-profit groups. Most don't need the advanced computing power of large enterprises or even some smaller businesses, and they'd love to get their hands on this goldmine of computing garbage.
That's what reBOOT Canada is all about."
