Michelle Minkin, a friend of this effort and an all-around nice lady; suggested that we auction off the opportunity to destroy these computers. We were almost ready to start soliciting the community for creative ways to make them go BOOM and film it for YouTube consumption. You are right, it was a juvenile and silly idea. One I personally liked thank you very much. Sure it might have been silly. So was spending 9 hours of my life seeking the solution for a problem that took all of 1 minute to solve.
