...is a printer: a HP LaserJet 6L in working condition. It's not even empty. It's a nicely compact printer, too... not one of those huge monsters for use in offices (not that we'd mind).
We found it at the corner of the street near a dumpster for household garbage, and strapped it to the back of my bicycle and took it home.
I've long ago given up being amazed at the stuff people throw away. I guess I could be amazed at the fact that someone was too lazy to carry it across the street to the charity shop. But I can't be bothered really.
Never mind, it's in good hands now and it will eventually find a loving home and be useful to someone.
