    What to do with dead Ricoh touchscreens......

    We made a Christmas mobile with some!

    Any more suggestions how to recycle old touchscreens?
    For some reason there seems to be an awful lot of them about.

          I'd grind them to dust and use it to as coating for cakes to be served to the customers who deserve it!

              I've found they make good coasters for oversize coffee mugs. Or replacement double glazing for really small houses.
              It's 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.

              Hit it.

                                  They would probably be pretty good for use as little trays to roll blunts on...

                                          I might have some in-house customers for some. Several of the salesmen appear "chemically challenged" at times!

                                                      Brilliant idea Mr Who! a 100% profit with zero outlay. I've got a stack of touch screens, an unlimited supply of paper dust and there is always a biro or two lurking behind any copier.
