When spring-cleaning season comes around, Are faced you faced with the same question: Has the day of reckoning arrived for my 12-year-old computer?
At the nonprofit computer refurbisher in Fremont, reuse is the goal. Volunteers like Andrew Phetsomphou pry open donated computers and install new parts that give the machines a longer life. The refurbished desktops and laptops then are sold cheap at Interconnection’s retail store or shipped internationally to communities with fewer resources. I sketched a pallet of Dells marked for Ghana next to another slated for Mali.
Phetsomphou, a 21-year-old networking student at Highland Community College, is glad to donate time for this cause and calls the hands-on experience “a good résumé builder.”
