@richb.... I sure wish there was a way to "thumbs up" a post here (not to mention get @richb to work) Anyway I like your link/ post.
We did have that facility but it disappeared in an upgrade of the forum software a year or so past.

Yes. It was an incompatible extension with the updated software.

I personally like the idea of saving older machines from the scrap heap. And with MX, my refurbished Dell Latitude runs fast and trouble-free.
Another good source of quality used hardware are end of school auctions, when a school district auction out computers that will be replaced with new ones for next school year. 50$ could get you several computers & screens. And those are usually build well.
