Robin,
Thank you for sharing the "rest of the story". I watched the 60-minutes
story last Sunday, and was thinking that there wasn't any e-waste recycler
in the US that you could trust. You have totally changed what I now think.
Thank you, and kudos to you and Retroworks for what you do. I wish there
were more like you.
Steve Gregory
