bornyo you're way more generous that i could ever be. only good way to get rid of stuff is make people think they're stealing it. my friend once put out a fridge with a sign "FREE" on it and it sat for a week, then wind blew the sign off and the fridge disappeared during the night. coincidence?
no doubt re: human nature. like give someone a free laptop or printer and watch them proceed with no shame whatsoever in calling you up for the next decade whenever they or their kids fucked it up. hell, i gave someone an old car once and only ever regretted it.
a lot of tech companies now landfill old equipment rather than give it away to employees- in Toshiba's case they saw their tech support lines turning into a circus and costing them a fortune with all the people complaining about problems on their free gear.
