I'll tell you an even sadder story...

When I was at Illinois State, the physics department had oodles of 5-flavors macs for program and simulation modeling. They replaced them with G4's and G5's, some were recycled, but more than a few got 'chucked.' Google: Morton Pumkin Chucking. We launched a couple ~200ft with our trebuchet. Don't worry, they all had screens that were too far gone to tune up.
