[Technic] recycling

[Shane Farmer]

I have a buddy that stripped a couple of old air conditioners down from
a motel that was giving them away and made about $200 in a couple of
hours.  Copper was about $2.25/pound I think, maybe more.  Aluminum
wasn't too bad either.

   On a somewhat related note...

     Anyone know how much copper is in a typical PC power cord?  That
is, 
how much is it worth as scrap?  All the news stories about people
stealing 
copper for the scrap value got me wondering.

     Can I count on those boxes and boxes of power cables in our back
room 
to get me to early retirement?
