In this ultra techie business we are all proud to be a part of....we replace the equipment that no longer suits our needs...sometimes it is not that it is dysfunctional....we just have a less than ultra functional relationship with it....the computer does not run as fast....the printer resolution not as sharp as it could be....the fax is tad toooo slow for the mega faxes/emails that fly to the lenders withher short sale packages.....and we find that spending money on better hardware saves us more money than the cost of the hardware....and we have another write off for office equipment.
We choose to work from our home office....we built our house with that in mind and choose to invest in our own equipment rather than going to our Keller Williams office. Short sale packages as anyone who does them knows....are anything BUT short...often a minimum of 100 pages. Too much time was being taken up making sure that all the pages traveled safely to their destination....it was time... time to say good-bye to the Brother fax that had been our good and faithful servant and moooove on to run faster and jump higher machine....picking up valuable time and making our office much more efficient.
The Brother fax was really not ready to be recycled or buried..it did everything that it was supposed to do...just not with the speed and capacity we now require. Soooo..... a call to the Waukesha Women's Center to see if they had a need.....and they were about to give their machine a proper burial and happy to give our Brother a new home.
Sooo....before you recycle that laptop....trash that printer, throw out the fax....give the charity of your choice a call...you know what they say....one person's trash is another's treasure....don't bury your treasure....gift it to an organization that will appreciate your generousity and thoughtfulness.
