This is going to seem like an odd request, but I am doing a presentation
which will include some "bad apples". You know, the human kind. But, to add
some humor, I would like to find a picture of some really trashed, or a pile
of trashed, old Apple computers. I don't know where to find this, and you
guys have always amazed me at what you were able to locate, so I am hopeful
you can provide a link. Thanks!

"Trashed" as in "sitting in a trashcan" or "trashed" as in
"a pile of
bleeding apple cases smashed to bits"?
I can take a bunch of Apple ]['s, ///'s and Lisas, plus sundry
peripherals, put them in a haphazardly laid pile, and then snap a few
shots of it and send it to you (along with an invoice :) but I won't take
a sledgehammer to them unless you pay me lots of money.

Well, I do recall an Apple advert in Byte back in the early '80s,
featuring an Apple ][ that had been severely burned in a fire, yet
was still working.
