In many cases the older equipment which is donated comes from
institutions or businesses which either have too many machines to
handle on a one at a time basis, or just have no mechanism for
giving to entities other than Goodwill or similar.
Now you see, that's just plain silly. Yes I know it's VERY
COMMON, but it's still silly. This idea of a company not being able
to do anything unless it's described in detail in the "procedures
manual" that they got from "corporate" is nothing more than an excuse
to avoid thinking and taking action.
There is no reason in the world why someone can't just take
personal responsibility for something and do a little googling and
send some "come and get it off of this loading dock by Friday or it
hits the dumpster" messages out to some random mailing lists.
Damn suits.
