P.S. I have a terrible, but relevant confession--I
don't like to throw
things out as long as they contain useful parts. For example, I
accumulate bad CFLs then remove the lamp, extricate the electronics PCB,
line them up out of doors over a metal pail and apply a heat gun to the
trace side of the little pcb until the solder softens....
I thought I was the only person to do things like that. Yes, I strip old CFLs for
parts... In my younger days I used to take the top off every dead 9V battery I
was throwing out, it made connector to fit on a similar battery in a project
I was making.
Oh well...
