I'm not disagreeing with anything Chris is saying, but I am going to ask that we try to be careful about the generalized term "Finance," as in "Brian informed me that Finance replaced ... " which is a generalization implicating <i>me </i>and Mike Lehman and Durl and whole bunch of other people who didn't know anything about this. Let's be more specific about <i>who is doing what </i>if we can.<br>

Tech is not interested in the printer. Also, Brian informed me that Finance replaced the program director's monitor and that the old CRT was taken to the Makerspace without informing us. I've asked Brian to bring it back upstairs.<br>
<br>Tech will help other groups find appropriate means of recycling non-functioning, or upgraded equipment. A prime example is when Jay Schubert & I hauled all the old crap out of room 26 when there was a recycling event on campus. <br>
<br>What we won't do is be every group's storage dumping ground for equipment you feel isn't working or needs replaced. Taking the monitor to Makerspace without telling anyone is a good example of this. This type of thing can easily take over Tech's time. Time we could be spending working on the really awesome stuff that is getting mentioned by our board members at a national level. We are not the IMC's electronics recycler.<br>
<br>I'd like to suggest that the finance sub-group which deals with building space issues designate a place for non-functioning computer equipment that needs to be recycled by all working groups and issue communications about that so that folks know what to do with it. Maybe that's room 26. When a recycling opportunity presents itself, tech will pitch in to help, but it should probably be coordinated with the building manager.<br>

I kind of think it's just good for a boat anchor -- and the IMC
doesn't own a boat, yet.<br>
<br>
I'm cc-ing this to Tech in case they have an interest in it (or
Makerspace maybe?) for parts. etc.<br>
<br>
Otherwise, recycle it once Tech has had a chance to weigh in.<br>
