The deadline for registration as a system builder under the WEEE(EEY) legislation is today. ie. If you’re building and selling your own systems or rebranded hardware, you’re meant to join a scheme and then pay wodges of cash to ensure environmentally friendly disposal of your systems when they end of life. This doesn’t apply if you’re reselling someone else’s branded systems.

The legal stuff:

Now our penguins are safe.

Anyone looking for amusement should head to their nearest computer shop and ask if they’ve “registered for WEEE”. Photos of the resultant facial expressions should be sent to me. Prizes awarded.
