Old 2007 iMac right before Recycle

About 8 years ago I wrote about all the Apple Macs that I'd had over the years. My fifth mac was a 2007 iMac, the first of the aluminum body iMacs. Although I subsequently got another iMac (1983), which has since been replaced with yet another iMac (2021), the old 2007 model continuted to run. I took it to the beach and it sat in the office until Dan took it out and put it in the closet. Anyhow, I decided that since it was probably not going to be used again, it was time to recycle. So I brought it home. Before I sent it off to the glue factory, I checked on eBay to see if it had any value. There were 4 pages of 2007 iMacs with a variety of starting prices. No bids. None. So it's basically worthless. So I sucked off all the data that might have been of value and took it, along with a couple of keyboards that were hanging around, to the Apple store for recyling. Here's a picture of it sitting on the counter just before it headed out the door. It's a heavy sucker.
