There is an on-going discussion on the kictanet list about proposals to completely ban used computers. IMHO, I'm against the ban and the excuses about e-waste or otherwise do not justify a complete ban on used computers. The used computer market has to supplement the new machines market.
Its a bit ridiculous to ban used computers citing pollution and e-waste when the country allows importation of used cars (upto 8 years old). how about the pollution caused by 8 year old engines and the resulting scrap recycling and pollution costs when you have put down the car ?
