For my first #marchintosh post, some scores from #trashnothing #freecycle over the weekend.
The #iMac apparently had the magic smoke & sparks fly out, we shall see what parts can be salvaged
- An older #ipad
- a few #macpro - Two appear to be the 2012 vintage, the same as my orignal MacPro that I still have. Hopefully candidates for #OCLP
- Some #keyboards
- retro surge srtip
- random ewaste: panasonic land line phone, some cables, spicy pillows,

Oh yay! I was able to give those old lanyards away on #TrashNothing!
There's a very cool elderly lady who will be wearing her bus pass with attention-getting high-tech references to grab the eyes of young techies on the buses.
"Excuse me ma'am, did you invent the original ZigBee protocol?"
Dear Friends without Olio ... 😱
Well that did not last long. Essentially, Olio are trying to capitalise on Freecycle and the Trash Nothing app. https://www.freecycle.org/
I deleted Olio as soon as the pay money to the Olio app, for their premium 'service' came up. Yuk! What is wrong with startups like this - are they starving? Greedy? It took less than an hour for them to reveal their moneterisation of food plan ...

In the UK and in Greater #London, we have food charities/banks being used by working people. I am going to Church and eating the whole Eucharist and wine ... The dharmic #charities in #Tooting are feeding people (as are the #Churches and #Mosques)
I have to start giving again on #Freecycle and #TrashNothing. I also have two bags of clothes, charity shops like #Oxfam in walking distance ...
Must do! 😇
