In that regard, I can't help but wonder what has

machines, which depending on the computer lab, were pretty much everything
from original II up through the IIe platinum and IIgs. In hindsight, I wish
I would have thought to work something out to save a few dozen IIgs systems
since I'd love to set up a small portable educational lab today, but I
can't justify spending the kind of money that collectors are willing to
spend on individual IIgs machines.
Well, I don't know about your area, but about 15 years ago there was a
spate of Apple II stuff that showed up in area thrift stores... quite a
lot, and then those naturally disappeared over a period of a year. 10 years
later, there were a lot of early Power Macintosh systems that showed up. In
both cases they had asset tracking stickers on the cases from local schools.
