The proper way to dispose of a laptop or any other computer is not to 
pollute the quarry but to find a tall building take the elevator to the 
top, and throw the laptop off the building taking care not to hit people 
below. I is much more rewarding to see it crumble into millions of 
pieces, and you don't have to exert yourself on a boulder which can miss 
the laptop entirely.
