Disability Resources (AKA New-To-You Computers) is a great place to give
stuff to. I just took a truck load of stuff down to them about a week ago
and they were more then happy to take it. They don't want old crap though,
Pentium or higher, otherwise just throw it out.
ah ok cool. They _are_ old crap (like 486, pentium I, pentium II, etc) and
not in working order. perhaps they'd like the monitors, keyboards, mouses...
maybe the power supplies?
thanks
Also I think that with all that plastic on them iMacs actually float. :-)
according to the commercials, imacs are good for arranging multicoloured
circles of computers on the floor of all white rooms and spinning around to
funky music...
i wonder if you super-glued a keyboard, trackball, and powerscource on a
piece of cardboard and attached it to the front of the imac it would be
considered a laptop?
