All the "Goodwill" stores here in Houston carry computer items and so do the
ones in the TwinCities (MN). John

the pricing, Goodwill and their ilk have a mission to sell old junk for
the cheap. We've all had impossibly lucky finds at these places..
This is just killing me: What are common names/organizations for
"goodwill" stores? I have never once been to a goodwill place that had
anything computer-related, only clothing for the most part. I am clearly
looking in the wrong places!! Where should I be checking in my local
area?
