[lug] Speaking of old monitors

[Glenn Ashton]

Ecocycle's web site says their fee is $10.

According to a brief web search, it seems that Massachusetts and
California are the only states with laws on the books about computer
monitors.

But, hey $10 is cheap if you're goal is to keep a couple of pounds of lead
from being buried in a landfill.
