"BuyMyTronics.com started with an idea to keep broken and used iPods out of landfills. When founder Brett Mosley's much-used, much-loved iPod broke, it dawned on him that there weren't many eco-friendly or economically gainful things do with it. After little research, Mosley discovered that there were a lot of people out there who had the same problem; broken iPods, few options."

"Stu's Quiz Boxes (for Windows) might remind people of the TV gameshow, Jeopardy!, but it's not that, it's much better than that. You can use it to make an exciting, interactive and educational computer-based gameshow available to everybody. It can be used in so many different situations - in schools and colleges, at conferences and parties. But the main use is expected to be in classrooms, that's why Quiz Boxes is all about POINTS, not DOLLARS. There is no link to gambling like there is with that other game."
