Reading the comment on equipment going to Africa etc, let me share something 
with you:

Mukom Tamon from Afrinic was speaking at our IPv6 conference in Zurich this 
June.
He was pleading that we stop shipping old equipment to developing countries.
He said, I get no money to buy new stuff, because we have all this old 
equipment standing around for free.
How should I ever be able to do IPv6....

:-)

Cheers
Silvia

Hi Mihai,

... needless to mention that vendors often offer special trade-in prices for 
"old" equipment if a company is life-cycling their stuff.

some of the equipment gets refurbished and sold through brokers, some gets 
shreded to salvage some gold and I strongly believe that most of the equipment 
that was initially in mid-europe and ran there for 3 to 5 years gets a second 
life in eastern europe, africa or south america ;-)
