November 5, 2013: Weekly box of goodies I decided to start posting a weekly box of goodies that have come in to The Working Centre's Computer Recycling Project . Please contact one of our volunteers if you're interested in any of these items. BC-45B charger Fujifilm Battery Charger BC-45B (asking $5.00) - charges the battery in a large number of Fujifilm Finepix cameras. There is a Kijiji listing showing some of the camera batteries apparently supported by this charger here: http://montreal.kijiji.ca/c-acheter-et-vendre-equipement-electronique-Genuine-Fuji-Fujifilm-Battery-NP-45A-Charger-BC-45B-Original-W0QQAdIdZ533914747 Back of charger has: Model No: BC-45B U, Input: 100-240V~ 50-60Hz 0.15A, Output: DC 4.2V 0.55A Unit is in good condition. SG-IC032 charger Digital Video Battery Compact Travel Charger SG-IC032 (asking $5.00) - charges the battery for a number of Canon Poweshot S-series cameras.

I've been a Godaddy customer for several years. When I first signed on with Godaddy their hosting was reasonably efficient and very affordable. While the afford-ability has stayed the same the quality of hosting has dropped magnitudes. Godaddy simply hasn't been a good host now for several years, and it simply isn't worth the "affordable" price anymore because of the lack of stability. What am I talking about? Regular 500 Internal Server Errors resulting from the servers simply being overloaded. Godaddy just can't handle their success and as a result has commodified everything to the point where their offerings are just crap. If the site's not available most of the time it isn't worth the money, no matter how little you spend.

15" LCD monitors At the Working Centre's Computer Recycling Project we've finally begun to sell LCD monitors. At the moment we have several LCD monitors, but these will go fast. We still carry a small selection of CRT monitors for those who find the LCD monitors just don't do the range of CRTs. Our selection includes several different brands including Viewsonic, IBM, and Dell, but selection varies from day to day. The monitors are very reasonably priced. We also have several types of DLink routers (wired, wireless), and a few Netgear and Linksys routers. Other items include scanners, printers, and several types of boxed expansion cards.
