Re: ComputerBank (NSW or otherwise)
The ComputerBank (cbnsw) apparently no longer maintains a website. Perhaps they had to cut costs. You can reach them (perhaps) on 02 4951 4948. Would the resources on the following URLs be of help to you? http://www.expresspcparts.com.au/ http://www.recompute.com.au/c/computer_specials/9.html http://www.cnet.com.au/what-a-waste-australian-tech-recycling-options-limited_p2-339277923.htm Andre On 20 March 2010 15:32, Michael wrote: > Hello everyone. > > I have been thinking the last few days about various things, my future > being one of them, and have come to a general conclusion that I could > do a ComputerBank type of thing for my local area.
