[Technic] Recycling Company that will pickup for freeGail Ellis ellisgail at spokane.k12.mo.usMon Aug 6 08:55:36 CDT 2007
Everyone, Mid-West Computers out of Branson will come and pick up your old technology components for free. They just came to my school and picked up a pickup load and was on their was to KC to pick up about 200 computers. You just have to call and they will schedule an appointment to pick up your stuff. I called last Monday (July 30) and they had me scheduled by today. I don't know if they are always that fast with a pick up, but for free, I will wait. The number is 417-294-3745.

It has worked fairly well for us. Although you use to be able to install the printers from a browser, but updates to Windows have made you use DOS to set up. It took me a while to figure out how to set them up, but once I found a solution online, it works fairly easy.

I hated it for about a day since I could not get my script to run correctly, but now I like it. I won't be setting any more teachers up as admins on their computer so that they can run Sisfin. Just in case anyone else decides they want to try it, here is the script that I have. I could not get mine working, but finally asked on the AutoIt forum and they replied right away. He replied that he thought mine should have worked also, but here is what he gave me so that the mapping and run ran on one line. local $user = "username" local $domain = "domain" local $passwd = "password" RunAsSet($user, $domain, $passwd) Run (@comspec & " /c net use s: \\server\share && S:\test.exe", @WindowsDir, @SW_MINIMIZE) I then set the username and passwd to my own user name and password. I added myself to the administrator account on the computer. I let AutoIt compile the above so that the password and username are not seen and dropped the executionable on the desktop (the 'default user' desktop) in place of the Sisfin shortcut. I actually got two things out of doing it this way. The teachers can all log into a computer and run sisfin without being an administrator and I am also an administrator on all of the computers. There have been several times that I was logged on as myself and needed to do something but could not since I was not in the administrator group on the computer, but now I can. In case anyone else is thinking about using this. I want to point out that you only have to install AutoIt on your one computer. The compiled script is a stand alone executionable and will run on any computer. Also, you don't have to be in a domain, you could just use the computer name and a local administrator if you wanted to. Thanks again to Bill and Patti for pointing this thing out.

I'd think someone in KC or StL would offer a similar service. Have you checked with MO-DNR. They keep a pretty good list of folks that recycle like you're looking for. Good luck!

Does anybody have any contact info on a computer recycler that will guarantee the safety of the drives? Looking for someone that will come and get it for free, I could fill several pickup truck loads. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ _______________________________________________ Technic mailing list Technic at lists.more.net http://lists.more.net/mailman/listinfo/technic -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
