There is a goodwill in my town and the morons always try and sell computer
stuff for ungodly prices. For instance I saw a CGA monitor there for $75.
Wow these people need to get of the medication. Also (not computer
related) I saw them selling clay pigeons for fifty cents a piece. crazed!

I don't know about your local region, but
herem they don't fix anything.
See http://www.goodwillcomputerworks.net.
An entire GOodwill store, dedicated to fixing up and selling computers.
Most of the "systems" they sell are PC clone or Macs, but they do have
a good variety of "other" "as-is" stuff to rummage through (I saw
some
HP 9000/7xx workstations last time I was there, as well as NeXT, etc)
and plenty of nifty bits (they had a PILE, at least 20, Proxim wireless
ethernet access points a couple of months ago, for $20 each.. and I got
a DECserver 90M complete less power supply for $5 last week..)
Anything they dont put out on the floor is auctioned off twice a week.
AH-HA! Now, I know where all the computer stuff went that I
DIDN"T see in Plano, TX last month!!!!!
I went the the Goodwill in Plano in early July and there was virtually no
computer stuff. I take that they ship it all to Austin?
