Request: Computer equipment (Heybridge CM9) Wanted - any old computer equipment for refurb, update & re-offer for free - PCs, laptops, monitors, components. Even with quite old machines, the chances are that I can refurbish and upgrade to make a usable device, perfectly capable of basic everyday tasks - internet, emails, Office etc. - that I can then re-gift back for free to someone who has a need. I've been doing this for a while, finding homes for old equipment from friends and family. I've re-furbed and re-gifted 3 laptops, 14 desktops, 3 tablets and various other bits since requesting on here, with more stuff in the pipeline. Any offers greatly appreciated, keep them coming! Roy
