Well, I checked out my local Goodwill stores. What a
waste. When I
asked about old Apples, the computer supervisor said "we refuse
those." When I asked about Sun and DEC, they looked at me like I was
speaking an alien language. A few extremely overpriced 486 & Pentium
75 systems, that's it.
I don't think in all my days of going to Goodwill I have ever seen
anything Sun or DEC there. I do believe those types of items are diverted
to depots where they conduct auctions.
Other than the huge box of old cards that I sorted
through. Nothing
of note except for a whole slew of 3Com and IBM brand Token ring cards
(all say "4/16") and one Kingston KTC-9160 eight slot memory expansion
board. If anyone wants any of these email me.
Goodwills and Salvation Army's are really only good for old (and cheap)
computer books.
