Do you not realize that Goodwill operates to make a *profit* ?
Just because someone gives something to Goodwill for free doesent
mean that they should turn around and give it away again.
If someone gave you an IMSAI 8080 (bad example, I know) and you
turned around and spent a day or so making sure it worked, would
you then want to sell it for $25 a couple days later?
(although the members of this list tend to be more open and "free"
with their hardware than other groups I've seen; I dont think anyone
is going to give away an IMSAI..)
