This week was a sweet one for me. Monday morning I arrived at work, but got an email that I need to be else where. I remembered there was some IT stuff that needed to be ecycled and I had to be there to get the team in. I was dreading this, rushed down to the building which was about 0.5 miles away. Got in and went up to the floor. OMG! There were like over 200 2015 MBP's vast majority in great condition sitting there ready to go to eWaste. I looked for the very best and picked out a few and grabbed a charger.
So far, I've restored a Mojave Time Machine on one and now have my Photoshop CS6 back. No plans to update it any further. I don't know what I plan to do with the other two though. Factory reinstalled OS X Mavericks on one because I was curious what it was like. Its so much like Leopard but beautiful on the retina display. I reloaded the factory Yosemite on the other, but I might upgrade it to Monterrey. They are all in such great condition: 512 GBs of storage, 16 GBs of RAM and nVidia graphics.
One man's trash is another mans treasure. I know those guys who came by to do the Ecycle, none of them look like they were really gonna be taking any of that stuff to e-waste. Its unbelievable how really good stuff just gets thrown away. I hope in the next 7 years I get that 16 inch with M1 Max, 64 GBs of RAM I saw in the order list.
