I really hate seeing perfectly good equipment get thrown in to the Recycling Bin.

I agree but that is just a fact of life everyone must accept.
Perfectly good black & white TVs were replaced with color. Perfectly good color CRT TVs and monitors were replaced with LCD TVs and Monitors. 4:3 monitors by 16:9 and 16:10 widescreen.
Then there's 8-Tracks, cassettes, reel-to-reel, dial telephones, countless wireless phones, cell phones, dot-matrix printers, countless hard drives going back to my first 5MB (yes, 5
MB harddrive) on my old C64.
Retiring and replacing outdated, superseded, obsolete "legacy" hardware before it dies is just one of the costs of progress.
