[ale] OT: plethora of cell phones

[H. Bieber]

Jenn, If you don't find a use for the phones, let me know the model numbers. My son's school is involved with some recycle program for Toner Cartridges and cell phones, they earn school supplies from athletic equipment to computers and digital cameras.

thanks
Harold

This sorta ties in to the refurbish-and-distribute tech thing, but, what
do you other early adopters do with your ex cell phones?  We're swimming
in them, I have at least 3 that are less than 3 years old (ie, all
digital) and am about to add a 4th to that pile.  I can't bring myself to
throw them away...but...could they be put to good use somewhere else?  Can
I put linux on them?! ;)

Also, if any of you tinkerers out there want an ericson t-68 (not a
t-68i), let me know. I need a good home for one I have, that seems to have
some sort of short preventing it from reliably making calls (recieves
calls and does everything else just fine, afaik).  I have no clue about
this...if it were a PC I could fix it, but phones are well beyond my
scope.  It's my preciousss, but alas I cannot fix it nor find anyone who
can, and I just betrayed it and bought a new one. :|

Sorry for the very OT...
jenn
