All,
I have an old CD-ROM and a non-functional CD-Writer, which fails invariably and tends to freeze my system randomly.
Are there locations in Mumbai, which recycle this ? Or could it be put to some other good use (the motor for rotating the wheels of a robot car?)
Similarly, I have a few CDs which cannot be used any longer. (few old Ubuntu CDs). How can they be recycled, if they can be at all.
A few months ago, I did search for a few on justdial dot com and queried them over email (since they listed it). However, I haven't got any response from anyone, hence the query to the list.
This has nothing to do with FOSS, but I hope, I haven't digressed too far.

I guess, that was fashionable among rickshaw drivers 2/3 years back. Now i rarely see it in autorickshaws.

Maybe. Haven't travelled in rickshaw/taxi since 5 years now.

If you don't get any other place to recycle them,I would want the lasers and the motors,basically the drives..... :)

Give 'em to the autorickshaw drivers. Rather,first post which versions they are...

It does,a small part of FOSS also includes not having to buy new hardware for new versions of operating systems.

You beat me to it ;-)
they have plenty of nifty mechanical hardware to have fun with.
The cds make good coasters and reflectors.
