Indeed, I have gotten several things here.

My local Salvation Army frequently tosses printers and PCs (and the
rare Mac they get in).
The Goodwill I work for (their overall, Regional I do believe, website
is mokangoodwill.org) will take in your old computers and peripherals
(fax machines too) but they don't sell them. Instead they package them
up and send them to be recycled by Dell. They might keep the rare,
nearly new laptop but all the rest is shipped off. I am TRYING to get
them to sell me an eMac but I lost out on a Smurf, a Quadra and a IIvx
that I really wanted.

I know about it.
I haven't used it but on the other hand, I have been given plenty of
older computers and peripherals by people I know.
