No, nobody here is going to get mad at you...(and even if they did, who cares 
what they think..90% of self confidence is not giving a fvck...if they're not 
paying your paycheck or have some other good reason for you to pay close 
attention to their opinions then those opinions don't really 
matter.)...Personally, I wouldn't consider it worth while to go after old 
IC's and logic unless they're very special or needed for spare parts for 
something. If you build something later out of a bunch of pulled IC's and it 
doesn't work, troubleshooting could be a pain in the butt because you won't 
know which one to suspect necessarily and you could have damaged any one of 
them from overheating. I'm actually in the same boat as far as having old 
boards lying around that I need to pull parts off of and get rid of, I have 
two large plastic totes full of them. I'm building a vacuum powered 
desoldering station for the purpose. I'm mostly going after discrete 
components (high quality pots, DC-DC converters, solid state relays, special 
LED displays, etc.)
