RE: The E-Waste Mega Dump of Agbogbloshie
I'm trying to find a decent Windows ME or Windows 98 computer for retro gaming. Kinda saddens me that so many computers that fit my needs are long gone to sites like this.
There is not even a way to prevent it really unless we organize ourselves. People think they're doing something great when they recycle. Even if you would show up at dropping off points where we live, they would not give / sell us any machines. Maybe you should get in touch with @livinguktaiwan hubby.
Apparently even when people recyle their old computers, only a small part of it may really be recycled and reused, most end up in dumps like these polluting the environment.
My hubby says Windows sucks up a lot of resources that why older PCs are so slow. He's repurposed about 6 or 7 to Linux, including his own which is about ten years old. It does it's every day job including watching videos and plaing Candy Crush ^_^ but it won't be fast enough for gaming which he doesn't do anyway.
