In the DC area you can donate them to Project Reboot (http://reboot.cpcug.org/), which will refurbish them and sell them at incredibly low cost to those less fortunate than we. Here's an excerpt from their website: "Project Reboot accepts computer hardware and software donations at ourworkshop/storage facility in Rockville, MD, from individuals, companiesand government agencies. There our volunteers (some experienced, somejust learning) refurbish it after testing, repair, and upgrades.Hardware with current operating system software is then donated at verylow cost to non-profit, educational, religion-based, and charitableorganizations. We help schools, senior centers, religiousorganizations, and other groups that work with low and moderate incomefamilies, and other needy, local clients...Usually the only charge to the receipient is a nominal cash fee to cover expenses and software licensing, typically $10,"

I have 3 old WinBook business laptops which were taken out of service many years ago and have been just sitting around. The data has been deleted but that's all. Recommendations please. Thanks in advance, Richard P. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
