You know, I may have a dissenting view here, but I
think some of
this stuff *ought* to go in the landfill. Sure, it will get destroyed,
but landfills will be our legacy 500 years from now. It would be
wonderful for a few high quality specimens of every type of computer made
to survive in museums, but we also want to give our future archaeologists
some reasonable sample of system distribution geographically. Oh well,
disagree if you like.
Y'know, they don't just plonk the stuff down and spread a layer of
dirt on top. They run it over with this nice bulldozer sort of thing
that has steel wheels with cleats. Crunches the stuff up better.
