[trashware] [Fwd: [DIGITALDIVIDE] New Discussion Listserv for Computer Refurbishers]

[Manuele Rampazzo]

Ciao,
mi han segnalato che di recente (15 giugno) è passato su una famosa 
lista dedicata al digital divide il messaggio che segue, che vado a 
ripescare dall'archivio di quella lista, che ultimamente marco letta 
troppo in fretta...

Il contesto economico/normativo è sicuramente diverso, mentre gli 
aspetti tecnici (per quel che riguarda l'hardware, almeno) è presumibile 
siano gli stessi di qua come di la dell'Atlantico.

Ciao,
Manu

Hi Everybody,

Noncommercial computer refurbishers (NCRs) now have our own listserv to 
talk about the stuff that is important to us. CompuMentor is 
particularly interested in getting your views on standards (warranty, 
fail rate, disposal, and data removal) as we prepare for the NCR 
conference in Chicago in mid September. We intend, however, that this 
will be an ongoing service to allow the people in our community to ask 
questions, express opinions, and raise issues. I'd like to urge everyone 
to include their email address under their signature in case folks want 
  to have the option of pursuing a discussion off the listserv as we do 
on this listserv. I'm in the role of moderator, so I'll see all the 
messages that come in and OK them.

To subscribe: email a one-line message to 
majordomo@refurb.compumentor.org that says: subscribe refurbishers. No 
need to have a subject for this message. The Majordomo software that 
runs this listserv only processes commands in the message body. If the 
subscription is successful you should receive an email asking you to 
confirm the subscription. We have it set up like this to keep out spammers.

To send messages to the list, email them to: 
refurbishers@refurb.compumentor.org

They will come to you one by one as other people on the listserv send them.

If you want messages to come bundled in one email message at the end of 
each day, email a one-line message to majordomo@refurb.compumentor.org 
that says: set refurbishers digest.

To unsubscribe: email a one-line message to 
majordomo@refurb.compumentor.org that says: unsubscribe refurbishers

Questions? Please email me at jimlynch@compumentor.org
