2010 Olympic Medals to be Made of Old PC Parts

For the coming 2010 Olympics and Paralympic Winter Games, all winners will receive medals made from something recycled such as an old circuit board. Vancouver metals giant Teck Resources is producing and supplying the medals along with the Royal Canadian Mint. Apparently this is one answer to that question in mind on where the old computer and busted gadgets are going. Scraps! But these are not hideous scraps, rather they are something that most people treasure, a crowning achievement for their participation in competitions. I guess the saying is true that you garbage will come back to you, but in a different and more recipient way eh?
