I need to find an image or two for this transition page as well. My Flickr Creative Commons pages were loading really slowly today. I’ll search over the weekend.

Good visual – can use this slide to show what this program’s all about: keeping computers out of landfills getting them into the hands of organizations & individuals that really need them
The useful life of tier one computing hardware is in excess of eight years. Given that enterprise lifecycles typically range from 3-5 years, every undamaged technology asset will have a long secondary life, even after residual market value has fallen to virtually zero. Enterprise planners will find extending amortization periods beyond three years yields materially lower monthly costs, and many large organizations have extended lifecycles as a result. Note that the IRS allows for five year depreciation of computing hardware. Organizations that idle equipment during the first two-thirds of the lifecycle will find that refurbishment and reuse are highly effective alternatives to purchasing new, and can provide substantial savings in the form of deferred procurement. Longer lifecycles also amortize the environmental overhead of original manufacture, and final recycling, over a longer period, thereby reducing the environmental impact of the asset at any point in time.
