Austin, Texas Computerworks Goodwill

It has been years since I've seen anything at any of the local Goodwills that resembles a "Classic Computer" here in Oregon. The best chance would likely be the "Stab and Grab" store, which is a big warehouse where they bring out massive bins, and people fight over the contents. I'm not kidding about the fighting either, when they bring out a new cart it's vicious. Within five minutes or less, anything that wasn't trash, typically is. I hate the place, but occasionally my wife drags me in there, though even she's basically had it with it, in part because the feeding frenzy really isn't safe to be around. The interesting thing about this "Stab and Grab" store is that it is where a majority of the book donations in the Portland area (if not Oregon) end up. They go into some secret (hidden) room, which isn't open to the public, and they sell them online. Don't even get me started on how they treat records, or the fact that you can often buy new stuff cheaper than the stuff Goodwill is selling! Yes, I have come to hate the stores. Zane
